Avoiding Core Saturation

Avoiding Core Saturation

Lines of magnetic flux are created when a current flows through a conductor. They can transport energy from one winding to another usually though a permeable core of some kind. The amount of flux per area is known as flux density. Transformer and inductor cores have...

The Effects of an Air Gap in Magnetics

In many cases introducing an air gap can be of great use. Often people/engineers may think that introducing an air gap increases the maximum flux density a core can handle. This is actually not true The core has a maximum flux density that is set by the material...

Custom Chokes

Here at CET, we do custom transformer and inductor solutions every day. One such part was a high current custom choke desired by a customer of ours. The design of this part actually went through a couple of iterations. Initially, we designed for performance keeping...
