Inductors

Some specific types of inductors:

Chokes:


Normally our electromagnetic simulation software MAGNETO™ (2D/RS) would be sufficient, though chokes with air gaps might require AMPERES™.

High voltage chokes may require analysis of the electric fields in and around the device to determine safe operating conditions. Usually this requires COULOMB™, though simple geometries may permit the use of ELECTRO™ (2D/RS).

Adjustable Core Inductors:


If the core and plug in adjustable core inductors possess rotational symmetry, an RS MAGNETO™ model should be sufficient, but complex geometries or examination of fields external to the inductor might require AMPERES™.

Saturable Reactors:


The presence of both DC and AC windings in saturable reactors necessitates a transient analysis using OERSTED™ .

High voltage inductors may require analysis of the electric fields in and around the device to determine safe operating conditions. Usually this requires COULOMB™, though simple geometries may permit the use of ELECTRO™ (2D/RS).

Current Limiting Reactors:


In the case of current limiting reactors, if the reactor possesses rotational symmetry, an RS MAGNETO™ model should be sufficient. Complex geometries or examination of fields external to the reactor might require AMPERES™.

High voltage reactors may require analysis of the electric fields in and around the device to determine safe operating conditions. Usually this requires COULOMB™, though simple geometries may permit the use of ELECTRO™ (2D/RS).

Simulations using Integrated CAE software permit determination of inductor performance and equivalent circuit parameters.
