and other magneticproperties,as well as how to
selectthe proper core for your application.

shapes and sizes:such as Toroidal Cores, Ecores, Shielded Coil Forms, Sleevesetc., each of

There are two basic groups of iron powder

ln general,toroidal cores are the most efficient of

any core configuration. They are highly selfs h i e l d i n gs i n c e m o s t o f t h e f l u x l i n e s a r e

magneticpath and consequentlystray magnetic

toroidal inductor.

The Carbonyl lron cores are especiallynoted for

their stabilityover a wide range of temperatures
and flux levels. Their permeabilityrange is from
'O'
less than 3 pi to 35 p; and can offer excellent
factorsfrom 50 KHzto 200 MHz. They are ideally

Unfortunately,there is no simple answer.

Core saturation,a secondarycauseof coil failure,

The equationfor determiningthe maximum flux densityof a given toroidal core is as follows:
E o 1 = a P P l i e dR M S v o l t s
E x 108
4.44xA"xNxF

B m a x=

Ae = cross-sect.area (cm2)
N = n u m b e ro f w i r e t u r n s
F

= frequency(Hertz)

The safety factor may be increasedby using the peak AC voltage in the equation. This is a standard
practiceamong many RF engineerswho design broadbandRF power transformers.
The above equation may be changedas shown below to make it more convenientduring calculationsof
Bmaxdt radio frequencies.
