New nanocrystalline materials for power electronics applications

Abstract

New nanocrystalline materials for the applications in the power electronics systems are developed and tested. These materials are intended to be used in the magnetic circuits of switching-mode power supplies (SMPS). The aim was to achieve extremely low hysteresis and non-linearity in operating region resulting in increased efficiency and decreased weight and size whilst keeping low price of the high-power frequency converters for SMPS.
