Main Considerations for Magnetic Component Choice

  • Chapter
Magnetic Components for Power Electronics

Abstract

After having reviewed the applications and topologies for the various power electronic circuits in Chapter 1, we can now proceed to investigate the main considerations that are made in choosing the appropriate magnetic component. In this chapter, these considerations are related to the function of the component in the circuit. They include a general review of material properties and the core shapes and sizes. The final size will be determined by the design considerations and the input and output variables. Lastly, the question of cost will come into play depending on the market that the component and the finished product is aimed.
