Transformer ferrite cored

Parylene is used in the manufacture of high quality miniature stepping motors, such as those used in wristwatches, and as a coating for the ferrite cores of pulse transformers, magnetic tape-recording heads, and miniature inductors.

Transformers are often used to couple the intermediate-frequency (IF) stages of a superheterodyne radio. These IF transformers, or IF-cans as they are often called, are parallel by capacitors, as shown in Fig. 2.40. Each coil has a moveable ferrite core that may be screwed into or out of the coil changing the inductance of the coil and, hence, the resonant frequency of the tank circuit. The IF transformer wiU thus pass signals near the resonant frequency. The IF amplifier thus have a very narrow bandwidth. 

Transformers can be a major source of distortion in electronic circuits. This distortion arises from two major sources. First, the transformer consists of inductive elements whose impedance is frequency dependent Transformers, therefore, display harmonic distortion. Second, the magnetization curve of ferromagnetic material (Fig. 2.31) is very nonlinear. This introduces distortion into signals coupled by iron or ferrite core transformers unless the signal level is kept very small. 

In the electrical industry, it is above all the bonding of sheet packs (dynamo sheets, transformers, motors) and the fixing of small parts (ferrite cores) that are increasing in significance (epoxy resins, cyanoacrylates). Adhesives (epoxy resins) containing conductive additives also are used, for example, for printed circuits. 

CBl and CB2 were opened in the substation where Line 1 and Line 2 were charged from the other end in Figure 6.10. When DSl (or DS2) was opened (or closed), relay (for 66 kV line protection equipment) malfunction occurred, and no CB was tripped. The surge was transferred through the control cable via a CT. As a countermeasure, the CW control cable (without a metallic shield) for the CT circuits was replaced by a CWS control cable (with a metallic shield) with grounded ends. Then, the frequency of the malfunction decreased. Ferrite cores were also installed at the secondary circuit of an internal auxiliary transformer for the CT. No malfunctions occurred after this countermeasure. 

A ferrite toroid or E core can be used for a drive transformer. No gap is needed since the input coupling capacitor guarantees that the core will operate in a bipolar fashion. A high permeability core is also suitable for this purpose. The wire that is going to be used will be in the range of 32 to 36 AWG. The core size will be approximately 0.4 to 0.6 inches (10 to 15mm). 

Magnetite is the ancient lodestone used as an early compass. More recently, ferrites have found use as memory devices in computers, as magnetic particles on recording tapes and as transformer cores. 

Soft ferriles have a slender S-shaped hysteresis loop with low rcntanencc and low ciicreivc force permitting easy magnetization and demagnetization with little magnetic loss. These ferrites are uniquely suited to low-ioss inductor and transformer cores for radio, television, and carrier telephony. 

Soft ferrites are used for the manufacture of inductor cores (pot cores) for telecommunications, low-power transformers and high-flux transformers such as television line output transformers, and as television tube scanning yokes (Fig. 9.17). The more important material characteristics for these and other applications are now discussed with emphasis on the influence of composition and microstructure. The review paper by A. Broese van Groenou et al. [9] and the monograph by E.C. Snelling [10] are recommended to supplement the discussion.

The combination of the above factors has rendered the nanocrystalline solution competitive, not only with amorphous Co-based alloys, but also with classical crystalline alloys and ferrites. The consequence is a steadily increasing level of applications in magnetic cores for ground fault interrupters, common mode chokes and high frequency transformers. Fig. 14 shows some typical examples. The worldwide production rate meanwhile approaches an estimated 1000 tons/year, and the trend is increasing. The only drawback of the nanocrystalline material appears to be the embrittlement that occurs upon crystallization, which requires final shape annealing and, thus, restricts application mainly to toroidally wound cores. 

Ferrites are compounds of the type MeO. Fc203 exhibiting the technically important ferromagnetic properties. The main advantage of ferrites, as compared with ferromagnetic metals, is an electrical conductivity lower by orders of magnitude, so that the power losses due to the effect of eddy currents in coil and transformer cores are... 

Natural and synthetic iron oxides not possessing pigment properties are used as raw materials in the production of hard and soft ferrites (see Section 5.5.5.2, Electro- and Magneto-Ceramics) for radio, television and telephone technology, for adhesive magnets, for rotors in dynamos, for low-loss magnetic layers, for DC-motors, for transformer cores, for electronic calculators and high frequency furnaces. This amounts to an annual worldwide production of more than 300 10 t/a.
