On board chargers, DC-DC converters and traction auxiliaries. Magnetics for 400 V and 800 V
architectures, designed for the vibration profile and the thermal cycling the vehicle
actually sees.
- Standards
- AEC-Q200 qualification path, IATF supply chain requirements
- Typical
- OBC transformers, DC-DC planar magnetics, PFC chokes, EMI filtering
What drives the design in this sector
MPPT stages, grid tie inverters, electrolysers and battery energy storage. High efficiency
matters here in a way it does not elsewhere: a point of efficiency is revenue over twenty
years.
- Standards
- Grid codes, EN and IEC safety isolation
- Typical
- Boost inductors, isolation transformers, line filters
What drives the design in this sector
Fast charge stacks, solid state transformer stages and fuel cell converters. Power density
is the constraint, so planar construction and litz windings earn their cost.
- Standards
- IEC 61851 and the isolation your architecture asks for
- Typical
- DAB and CLLC transformers, resonant inductors, SST cell magnetics
What drives the design in this sector
Airborne and ground power conversion, where the paperwork is part of the part. Full
traceability, and materials chosen for altitude and for temperature extremes.
- Standards
- MIL-STD-981, MIL-PRF-27, DO-160
- Temperature
- Minus 55 to plus 125 degrees C
What drives the design in this sector
Pulsed systems, high current magnet supplies, klystron and RF stages for particle physics
and fusion research. Repetition rate and peak current drive the design, not average power.
- Typical
- Pulse transformers, high current chokes, precision converters
- Volumes
- Often one, which is exactly what no MOQ is for
What drives the design in this sector
Isolation to medical creepage and leakage current limits, plus drives, welding and process
power where the duty cycle is brutal and the efficiency point is contractual.
- Standards
- IEC 60601 isolation for medical, IEC 61558 and EN for industrial
- Typical
- Reinforced isolation transformers, filter chokes, gate drive magnetics
