Inductor Design

Featuring Magnetics Kool Mµ^®, MPP, High Flux, 75 Series, XFlux^®, and Kool Mµ^® MAX powder cores, this design utility aids in core selection for DC output inductors, input chokes, PFC (Power Factor Correction) inductors, high current inductors, and other energy storage devices. Design inputs include DC current, ripple current, full load and no load inductances, and more. Designs are simulated and modeled while providing the designer with complete wound core dimensions, estimated core and copper losses, temperature rise, and more. In addition to toroid shapes, shapes are included such as Kool Mµ and XFlux E Cores.
