Nanocrystalline Cores

For Common Mode Filters, Current Transformers, and MagAmps

Nanocrystalline cores are a choice solution for common mode choke (CMC) applications as they exhibit high permeability, low power loss, and high saturation. Common mode chokes made with nanocrystalline material are used in a wide range of applications including switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), solar inverters, frequency converters, EMC filters, EV chargers, and multiple automotive and welding applications. When compared to ferrite cores, nanocrystalline cores provide a wider operational temperature range and significantly higher impedance at high frequencies.

Key Characteristics

Composition: Fe•Si•Nb•Cu•B
Shapes: Toroid, Cut Toroid, Slotted Toroid, Cut Core
Sizes: 5 mm to 145 mm
Flux Density (T): 1.25
Coating Color: Blue, Green

Due to the high permeability of nanocrystalline cores, common mode chokes, current transformers, and magnetic amplifiers (magamps) can be smaller in size and handle higher current. Saturation induction of 1.25T and a wide temperature range mean that CMCs made with nanocrystalline cores are less vulnerable to current imbalance and loss of performance at high temperature. The material's low AC losses result in excellent efficiency, and the option of durable cases - available in polyester (<130°C) and rynite polyester (<155°C) - makes cores suitable for winding with thick wire.
