Power conversion

Ferroxcube offers optimized materials for different operating conditions. Operating temperature, magnetic flux density and frequency are the most important parameters to select a suitable material. Materials are available with an operating temperature standard of 100°C or 60°C for handheld devices or 140°C for automotive applications, as well as for a wide temperature range from 20°C to 100°C or even 60°C to 140°C. Power converters operate in a wide range of possible switching frequencies depending on the general conditions of voltage, power and cost pressure: For each range, Ferroxcube offers specific materials optimized for a few kHz (inverters, high voltage systems), medium frequencies in the range of 10-100 kHz (consumer and computer SMPS), hundreds of kHz (high efficiency, compact converters) up to MHz.

Ferroxcube's materials help improve the efficiency of the power converter by reducing the losses of the magnetic components, allowing smaller and therefore less expensive cores to be used.
