What is Ferrite Core Transformer?
Transformers with ferrite cores are non-conductive, ferromagnetic compounds with ferrite windings. Low coercivity and low eddy current losses make them ideal for high frequency applications.
Advantages of ferrite as transformer core?
- Permeability is high: Transformers with ferrite cores have high permeability, which is one of the reasons they are used in high frequency systems.
- Conductivity is low: Eddy current losses are prevented by ferrite cores due to their high permeability and low conductivity. The core’s high frequency performance is the result of this.
- Coercive power: Coercivity of soft ferrite cores is higher than that of hard ferrite cores Furthermore, they maintain negligible hysteresis losses even when changing their magnetic orientation.
- Permeability is high: Their permeability is excellent, it is one of the main advantages of using a ferrite core transformer.
- Eddy currents are absent: The ferrites are known for their low electrical conductivity and high magnetic permeability. Therefore, ferrite cores are capable of preventing eddy currents due to these two properties. The performance of ferrite cores is excellent at high frequencies. A ferrite core is especially well suited for high frequency transformers because of its high resistance to eddy currents and its absence of eddy currents.
Additionally, these cores also offer the following benefits:
- High Q value
- Lag factor is low
- Sensitivity to DC is low
- Signal distortion is low
Ferrite core transformers provide consistent performance under a variety of conditions, which is why they are so widely used in the electrical industry.
What are their Major Applications?
- Circuits: Suitable for all power-related electronic circuits, such as switching power supply inverters and pure sine wave inverters.
- Converter from DC to DC: DC-to-DC converters use them to increase or decrease DC voltage.
- Panels for solar energy: Boosts the low DC voltage of batteries and solar panels.
- Cars powered by electricity: Electric vehicle chargers and motors.
- Appliances for the home: It is mainly used for household appliances such as washing machines, televisions, air conditioners, and refrigerators to ensure their efficiency. Transformer also reduces noise levels by filtering out electromagnetic interference.
- DC inverter with brushless motor: In brushless DC inverters, they convert alternating current into alternating current or alternating current into direct current.
- Charger for mobile devices: Voltage and amps vary from mobile charger to mobile charger. Voltage and amps vary from mobile charger to mobile charger.
