Large-size ferrite cores for a wide range of industrial applications

TDK Corporation offers a variety of new large-size ferrite cores with different core shapes, making this the industry's largest lineup of shapes, sizes, and materials for such large cores. These are employed in a wide range of industrial applications, including motor drives, EV charging stations, various railway/traction applications, power transformers, welding, medical, UPS, solar inverters, and other renewable energy applications. These cores enable optimising the magnetic design for enhanced efficiency and thermal performance.

The new standardised large-size core program contains E, U, I, PM, and PQ cores in the N27, N87, N88, N92, N95, and N97 power materials. Accessories like coil former and mounting hardware are available.

The ferrite cores offer significantly increased power and low losses at high switching frequencies. It also delivers low losses at high temperatures (+100C to +140C) and provides a coil former for multiple stacked E-cores.

For simulation, the company offers the Ferrite Magnetic Design Tool, available free of charge from its website.

Main areas of use include traction and railway, EV and battery charging, renewable energies (wind/solar), energy storage, welding, and medical applications.
