Increasing the switching frequency of direct current–direct current converters is effective in reducing the size of magnetic components used in converters. However, as the switching frequency increases, the loss and heat generated by the magnetic components increase. Therefore, in this study, a magnetic tape that bypasses the magnetic flux in the windings of magnetic components is proposed to reduce the loss and heat generation of these components. The effect of suppressing the temperature rise of magnetic components with a magnetic tape during the converter drive was investigated. The temperature rise of a 1-MHz 100-V/200-V 800-W boost inductor was reduced by 16.8 K by applying the magnetic tape. Additionally, applying the magnetic tape to the inductor reduced the heat generation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
