The demand for new designs for power converters has led to the need for compact, high power density components and the use of higher switching frequencies. This presents a real challenge for magnetic component designers, as the extra losses created by large air gaps necessary for transformers and resonant inductors, as well as those related to fringing effect, must be overcome.
At next week’s Virtual Conference on EV Engineering, presented by Prax Power, attendees will learn key rules and considerations for the design of such transformers and resonant inductors. Prax Power has developed multi-gap technology (XGAP TM) to reduce winding AC losses. This technology allows for a large air gap to be evenly distributed on a toroid, minimizing fringing effect by splitting the gap into smaller gaps.
The use of multi-gap technology offers several advantages, including cost-effectiveness, maximum power density due to a reduction of core volume by up to 30%, overall size reductions up to 20%, minimized losses, and optimal heat dissipation of windings in all type of cooling systems. All of these benefits make multi-gap technology an ideal solution for magnetic components in EV charging applications.
In addition to this session, the Spring Virtual Conference on EV Engineering will feature other sessions such as Power And Efficiency Measurements Of Electrified Vehicles, presented by CSM. Attendees will learn about the world-leading measurement hardware and software for power and efficiency measurement of inverters and electric motors, as well as the unique benefits of the Vector-CSM eMobility Measurement System.
