Payton Planar Magnetics Introduces a Line of Compact PFC Inductors Using Metglass or Nanocrystalline

PFC inductors are a must for all off-line power systems. In addition to the low profile, 7mm(H), which Payton introduced in 2010, Payton now has high power offerings in a compact design. This example is designed for a 5000 Watt system in a size of 70mm(L)x55m(W)x40mm(H). The core is a special design produced by Payton using Nanocrystalline. Metglass and Nanocrystalline are used for the compact PFC designs from 50kHz to 100kHz, and ferrite is still used for the low profile designs. Inductance is typically from 100 to 250uH. The aluminum clasp provides mechanical and thermal properties necessary for the compact design. The PFC inductor can operate from -40°C to 100°C ambient at full load.
