Instructions

  1. In Step 1, enter the input parameters.
    • DC Current is the full load or peak bias current. Enter zero if there is no bias current.
    • Peak Current Inductance is the inductance required with full load bias current plus ripple current.
    • Specified Current is any RMS or bias current of interest.
  2. Click the Find Part Numbers button to show suggested Magnetics® cores in the Magnetics Part Numbers box that fit the input parameters.
  3. In Step 2, enter one of the suggested Magnetics Part Numbers (or any valid Magnetics part number). Click the Design Output button to see the results in the Design Output box.
  4. In the Adjust section, you may adjust turns, wire size, or wire strands if desired by entering new number. When finished, click the Design Output button in Step 2.
    • The default wire selection is only for 1 strand. Software is based on current density of 500 Amps/cm². When the current is larger than 66.5 Amps, the default wire will be 6 AWG for 1 strand. Please consider using multiple wires when current or frequency is high.
