Cores for power transformers SMPS

MSTN series

Toroidal cores of the MSTN series (KVSU.684459.090 TU) are made of a thin (18 ± 2 μm) nanocrystalline ribbon AMAG 200C with annealing in a strong transverse field.

   • They are characterized by low losses, high saturation induction, high operating temperature (up to +155 °C), high magnetic permeability.

   • Cores have a negative temperature coefficient of loss, which ensures the stabilization of the transformer temperature.

   • The use of a thin ribbons and a special loss-optimized annealing ensure in this series the value of losses on the level of the best amorphous cobalt-based alloys.

The MSTN series is designed for use in power transformers of pulse converters at frequencies up to 1 MHz. High induction coupled with low loss results in few turns and size reduction. High permeability ensures good electromagnetic coupling of the windings and low no-load current.

 

Replacing ferrites with the MSTN series:

  • increases the efficiency of the transformer;
  • reduces idle current and overheating;
  • reduces size;
  • reduces the level of electromagnetic interference of the power supply;
  • expands the temperature range.

Especially effective for converters with an output power of more than 1 kW, as well as for harsh operating conditions.

 

They are a good alternative to known materials:

N87, N95, FINEMET, VITROPERM 500F, VITROPERM800, NANOPERM, 1K107, 5БДСР, ГМ414.

Design

Cores are produced in two designs:

  • 1. Flame retardant plastic container (MSTN-TH). A plastic container with a rigid structure and rounded edges provides reliable mechanical protection of the magnetic circuit from external influences while maintaining its properties, as well as the ability to apply winding with a large diameter wire.
  • 2. Powder coated with epoxy paint (MSTNP-TH). The dimensions of the magnetic circuit are reduced, but the parameters deteriorate due to additional impregnation and mechanical impact on the material of the magnetic circuit.

Fire safety of the core and its constituent elements is ensured by the use of non-combustible and non-flammable materials.

Recording example

  • MS - MSTATOR
  • Т - assignment (transformers)
  • N - nanocrystalline
  • P - paint coating
  • 10 - outer diameter, mm
  • S - sectional designation
  • TH - type of heat treatment (in a strong transverse magnetic field)
  • ТН1 - special grooves in the container for the installation of a dielectric insulating partition
