Epcos EG produces 8 standard sizes of ELP-configured ferrite cores made from power ferrites of advanced brands providing a possibility to produce transformers with operating frequency of up to 1 MHz (ferrite brand N49).
ELP ferrite cores are intended for a manufacture of small-size low profile transformers and chokes with windings made in the form of paths on multi-layer printed circuit board or (for high-capacity applications) in the form of insulated layers cut out of copper tape.
An advantage of transformer or choke whose construction is based on multi-layer printed windings based on ELP ferrite cores is:
- Significantly decreased size and weight of wrap-in product, low height as compared with similar traditional ferrite transformers.
- High reliability due to exclusion of manual work errors component on winding and assembling transformers.
- Low production cost with large-series production.
- Increased life time due to advanced heat sink and reliability of construction.
- Lesser value of parasite parameters and particularly of leakage inductance. During the operating at high frequencies losses in windings are considerable decreasing because of skin-effect and proximity effect.
- High repeatability of ferrite wrap-in products in series.
To obtain a possibility of additionally decrease a height of wrap-in product on printed windings, ELP cores are issued in version with closing I plate. More detailed information see in our catalog here (ru).
To produce single-ended converters with power storage, standard series of ELP cores with gap is issued.
