MAGNET-TECHNOLOGIE<br />

Choice of softmagnetic material<br />

Main requirement on a EMC filter choke:<br />

High impedance Z(f), f = 150kHz to 30MHz<br />

Z(f) = ω * L(f) = 2π * f * L(f)<br />

L(f) = A L* n 2 with A L = µ 0 * µ r(f) * A fe / l f<br />

Z(f) = 2π * f * n 2 * µ 0 * µ r (f) * A fe / l fe<br />

n: number of turns µ r : permeability A fe : Iron cross section<br />
