Boost and interleaved PFC inductors
Review energy storage, ripple, DC bias, switching frequency, core and copper loss across the operating range.
PFC & EMI MAGNETICS
Separate power-stage and noise-filter requirements before selecting magnetics
PFC energy storage, differential-mode attenuation and common-mode noise suppression are different magnetic jobs. IKP reviews the waveform, current, impedance target, insulation, temperature and mechanical constraints before selecting a topology.
Product suitability, ratings, test conditions and compliance requirements are confirmed by IKP engineering before quotation.
PFC / EMI COMPONENT PATHSPower conversion and filter magnetics
Use a standard family as the starting point, then confirm the project-specific electrical, insulation and thermal conditions.
- Functions
- PFC energy storage, differential-mode filtering and common-mode suppression
- Critical inputs
- Waveform, RMS/peak current, frequency, impedance and insulation
- Validation
- Electrical, thermal and system-level EMI acceptance criteria
Match the magnetic review to the noise or power-conversion problem
Input and output filter chokes
Define the differential noise band, target attenuation, current waveform, saturation margin and damping context.
Single- and three-phase common-mode chokes
Review common-mode impedance, leakage inductance, line current, insulation, creepage and temperature rise.
Choose a topology only after the system requirement is clear
The same nominal inductance or impedance does not guarantee equivalent behavior under bias, frequency and temperature.
PFC and boost inductors
Provide input range, output voltage, switching strategy, ripple target and cooling conditions for the first calculation review.
Upload a PFC requirement →Common- and differential-mode chokes
Share the line configuration, current, target noise band, insulation requirement and available filter envelope.
Browse choke structures →Application-specific windings
Start a custom feasibility review when the current, impedance, insulation, terminals or envelope cannot be met by a standard item.
Discuss custom magnetics →Connect the magnetic component to the converter and EMI test
