basic information
【Grade】 Covers from below 100Hz to 100kHz. 【Benefits of Utilizing 'Somaloy(R)'】 ■ Significant contribution to high-frequency operation necessary for miniaturization through reduced iron loss. 1) Hysteresis Loss Enables grade selection in applications such as low-cost grades and low hysteresis loss grades! 2) Eddy Current Loss It is possible to reduce eddy current loss, which increases with the square of frequency! Contributes to achieving low loss even in frequency ranges that were previously unattainable. ■ Contributes to the development of compact and lightweight reactors through high-frequency operation! 1) Insulating coating applied to pure iron-based powder, achieving high permeability with high compressibility. 2) Insulating coating on each particle significantly reduces eddy current loss, especially in the high-frequency range.
