Achieving alloy-level low loss with pure iron-based powder! Contributing to power conversion in smart grids.
In the field of smart grids, power conversion requires improvements in energy efficiency and miniaturization of systems. In particular, for reactors used in power converters, reducing losses and miniaturization significantly impact the overall performance and cost of the system. Insufficient loss reduction can increase energy loss, while delays in miniaturization may lead to constraints on installation space and increased costs. Soft magnetic composite (SMC) 'Somaloy(R)' addresses these challenges by applying an insulating coating to pure iron-based powder, significantly reducing eddy current losses in the high-frequency range, thus contributing to loss reduction and miniaturization. 【Application Scenarios】 - Boost reactors for DC/DC converters in smart grids - Miniaturization and high efficiency of power conversion systems 【Effects of Implementation】 - Miniaturization and lightweight of reactors due to high frequency - Improvement in energy efficiency - Enhancement of manufacturing efficiency
