Soft magnetic materials (materials that can easily be magnetized) come in many forms. For switchmode power supply flyback transformers and chokes, we would consider gapped ferrites, Iron powder, ...
The technology promises to replace several parts of the grid with one device that’s both controllable and updatable.
Most engineers think amorphous iron is an exotic material that is hard to come by. But the interest level in this metal is rising because its magnetic properties can promote energy efficiency in ...
When alternating current (AC) prevailed over direct current (DC) in the late 1800s, one of the deciding factors was the need for voltage levels to be raised and lowered throughout the power system to ...
Controlled nanostructure and magnetic domains open the door to next-generation transformers and EV components. (Nanowerk News) A research team from NIMS, Tohoku University and AIST has developed a new ...
