EFFICIENT, VERSATILE, HIGH POWER INDUCTORS WITH 3P1 A new solution for high power inductors FERROXCUBE moves forward along with the technology and expands its range of products with 3P1 set of cores for inductors in high power conversion systems. A true alternative to laminated steel and metal alloys. Thanks to its very high saturation level (1.5T) and low power losses, 3P1 is perfectly suited for applications where high energy storage capability and efficiency are necessary. These features allow for a smaller core size, hence lower cost and lighter solution than using ferrites for the same function. Industrial: • Photovoltaic inverters 3P1 applications as boost and output choke in power conversion systems include fields like: Automotive: • Wind mill inverters • HEV and EV inverter • Welding power supplies • EV fast charger • General purpose inverters • Uninterruptible Power Supplies • Power Factor Corrector Product range Bricks Shape Product reference Length Width Height BRK50/30/x-3P1M080 50.5 BRK60/30/x-3P1M080 60 BRK70/30/x-3P1M080 70.5 BRK80/30/x-3P1M080 80.5 BRK120/30/x-3P1M080 120.5 Product reference Diameter 30 Adjustable (max 30) Shape Material specifications Height SYMBOL CONDITIONS 3P1 μ 25 °C; 10 kHz; 0.25 mT 80 μa 25 ºC, 10 kHz, 100 mT 85 Bsat 25 °C; 10 kHz 1.5 T Pv 25 °C; 10 kHz; 100 mT 90 kW/m³ ρ DC, 25 °C >1 Ω∙m Tc > 700 °C density 6300 kg/m³ Cylinder ROD25/x-3P1M080 25 (max 25) All the dimensions are in mm If this is not enough… UNIT The core loss formula an approximation of t power losses as a func of frequency (f) and f density (B) P = 926.1∙B(T)2.05∙ f(kH We are permanently developing new products. Lower material permeabilities are on the way. Other shapes like toroids, or customized cores can be made upon request. Ask Ferroxcube’s team for support and optimize your inductor design. When designing an inductor for power conversion applications (such an inverter, or any other function), the choice of the material and the core size is dependent on several factors like: power requirements, circuit configuration, switching frequency, required efficiency, size constraints and cost. • wide range of sizes (blocks up to 30mm in thickness), • lower losses than traditional iron powder cores at the typical working frequencies (few kHz) • absence of organic binder after the annealing process, therefore no thermal aging is possible. New FERROXCUBE 3P1 range keeps all the advantages of conventional iron powder over other alternatives: • high energy storage at low volume, • moderate cost tooling, • inexpensive raw material, while providing: 3P1 range strengths for inductors’ design High energy storage capacity Efficiency Power losses are optimal at typical switching frequencies of few kHz, therefore high efficiency may be achievable from the magnetics point of view 1.5T saturation allows for handling high currents present in boost inductors and output chokes 3P1 low permeability is very stable over temperature and with DC field. Inductance values will be under control regardless of the circuit conditions The type and variety of the shapes length and thickness which are available makes it possible to adapt the inductor to the design constraints in order to achieve optimal performance and ease of windings Loss factor as a function of frequency 16 kHz 10 kHz 1000 100 tgδ/µ x 106 Pv (mw/cc) Flexibility 50 kHz 32 kHz 20 kHz 3P1 Power losses vs peak flux density a gives he ction flux Stability 10 1 0.1 B(T) 1000 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 10 [mW/cc] Complex permeability as a function of frequency 1000 Percent change of permeability with DC current μ’ μ’’ 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 10 100 Freq (kHz) % Permeability Hz) Permeability 1.15 Freq (kHz) 100 1000 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 100 1000 H (A/m) 10000 www.ferroxcube.com Australia: Contact Ferroxcube Taiwan Tel. +886 3 599 5886, Fax: +886 3 599 5882 Philippines: Contact Ferroxcube Singapore Tel: +65 6244 7815, Fax: +65 6449 0446 Austria: Contact Ferroxcube Germany Tel: +49 40 52728 302, Fax: +49 40 52728 308 Poland: Ferroxcube Polska, SKIERNIEWICE Tel: +48 46 834 00 07, Fax: +48 46 834 00 35 Benelux: Contact Ferroxcube Germany Tel: +49 40 52728 302, Fax: +49 40 52728 308 Portugal: Contact Ferroxcube Hispano Ferritas S.A., SPAIN Tel: +34 949 247 153, Fax: +34 949 247 166 Bosnia: Contact Ferroxcube Italy Tel: +39 02 660454 69, Fax: +39 02 612917 39 Romania: Contact Ferroxcube Poland Tel: +48 46 834 00 07, Fax: +48 46 834 00 35 Brazil: Richardson Electronics, Sao Paulo Tel: +55 11 5186 9672, Fax: +55 11 5186 9678 Russia: Contact Ferroxcube Poland Tel: +48 46 834 00 07, Fax: +48 46 834 00 35 Canada east: Contact Ferroxcube, USA Tel: +1 (915) 599 2328, Fax: +1 (915) 599 2555 Serbia: Contact Ferroxcube Italy Tel: +39 02 660454 69, Fax: +39 02 612917 39 China: Ferroxcube South of China Tel: +86 769 87382420, Fax: +86 769 87339561 Ferroxcube Suzhou Tel: +86 512 68095048, Fax: +86 512 68097128 Singapore: Ferroxcube Singapore, SINGAPORE Tel: +65 6244 7815, Fax: +65 6449 0446 Colombia: Richardson Electronics Tel: +57 1 636 1028, Fax: +57 1 636 1005 Croatia: Contact Ferroxcube Italy Tel: +39 02 660454 69, Fax: +39 02 612917 39 Czech Republic: Contact Ferroxcube Poland Tel: +48 46 834 00 07, Fax: +48 46 834 00 35 Denmark: Contact Ferroxcube Germany Tel: +49 40 52728 302, Fax: +49 40 52728 308 Finland: Contact Ferroxcube Germany Tel: +49 40 52728 302, Fax: +49 40 52728 308 France: Contact Ferroxcube Hispano Ferritas S.A., SPAIN Tel: +34 949 247 153, Fax: +34 949 247 166 Germany: Ferroxcube Germany, HAMBURG Tel: +49 40 52728 302, Fax: +49 40 52728 308 Greece: Contact Ferroxcube Italy Tel: +39 02 660454 69, Fax: +39 02 612917 39 Hungary: Contact Ferroxcube Poland Tel: +48 46 834 00 07, Fax: +48 46 834 00 35 Slovak Republic: Contact Ferroxcube Poland Tel: +48 46 834 00 07, Fax: +48 46 834 00 35 Slovenia: Contact Ferroxcube Italy Tel: +39 02 660454 69, Fax: +39 02 612917 39 South-Africa: Contact Ferroxcube Germany Tel: +49 40 52728 302, Fax: +49 40 52728 308 Spain: Ferroxcube Hispano Ferritas, GUADALAJARA Tel.: +34 (949) 247 153, Fax: + 34 (949) 247 166 Sweden: Contact Ferroxcube Germany Tel: +49 40 52728 302, Fax: +49 40 52728 308 Switzerland: Contact Ferroxcube Germany Tel: +49 40 52728 302, Fax: +49 40 52728 308 Taiwan: Ferroxcube Taiwan, HSINCHU Tel: +886 3 599 5886, Fax: +886 3 599 5882 Turkey: Contact Ferroxcube Italy Tel: +39 02 660454 69, Fax: +39 02 612917 39 United Kingdom: Contact Ferroxcube Germany Tel: +49 40 52728 302, Fax: +49 40 52728 308 United States: Ferroxcube USA, EL PASO (TX) Tel: +1 915 599 2328/2533, Fax: +1 915 599 2555 Indonesia: Contact Ferroxcube Singapore Tel: +65 6244 7815, Fax: +65 6449 0446 For all other countries apply to closest regional sales office: Ireland: Contact Ferroxcube Germany Tel: +49 40 52728 302, Fax: +49 40 52728 308 Israel: Arrow\Rapac Ltd., PETACH TIKVA Tel: +972 3 9203480, Fax: +972 3 9203443 Italy: Ferroxcube Italy, CINISELLO BALSAMO (MI) Tel: +39 02 660454 69, Fax: +39 02 612917 39 Korea: Contact Ferroxcube Taiwan Tel: +886 3 599 5886, Fax: +886 3 599 5882 • HAMBURG, Germany Tel: +49 40 52728 302, Fax: +49 40 52728 308 e-mail: [email protected] • EL PASO (TX), USA Tel: +1 915 599 2328/2533, Fax: +1 915 599 2555 e-mail: [email protected] • HSINCHU, Taiwan Tel: +886 3 599 5886, Fax: +886 3 599 5882 e-mail: [email protected] Malaysia: Contact Ferroxcube Singapore Tel: +65 6244 7815, Fax: +65 6449 0446 © Ferroxcube International Holding B.V. 2010 Mexico: R.V.
