Core Sizes-Design Considerations in Power Electronics

  • Chapter
Magnetic Components for Power Electronics

  • 756 Accesses

Abstract

The last few chapters, the choices of components for power electronics were considered based on the circuit topology, component function, material and shape. This chapter will be concerned with the selection of the size of the core. First consideration will center on satisfying the electrical input requirements with regard to input and output voltages and currents, followed by efficiencies, regulation, temperature-rise and safety requirements. The first section will concentrate on output transformers and output inductors, followed by common-mode chokes, EMI suppression cores and magnetic amplifier components. The appendices will deal with design examples for the various functions.
