Medium-frequency inductors

Once high power ranges are used, weight and size become important factors in the design of a system. Where future-oriented concepts find their use, modeled voltages in the medium-frequency range are increasingly being called upon. They enable compact designs of transformers and filter components for railway technology, lift technology, or in charging stations of electric vehicles, for example. For an optimized construction volume, we rely on high-quality materials, such as ferrite, nanocrystalline, or amorphous cores, amongst other things.

BLOCK is known as a competent partner for consulting and the design of inductive components and their cost-optimized realization. From requirement analysis, calculation, and simulation, to sample production and testing, right through to manufacture: we take on the task of designing your product.

Computer-based simulation

Calculations and simulations, such as finite element simulations (applying the finite element method, or FEM), enable BLOCK to check the thermal behavior of winding materials well in advance. This provides a key advantage in the development of new solutions in the field of large winding materials. The effectiveness of necessary optimization steps can therefore be checked without new, cost-intensive prototypes. For BLOCK customers, this means quicker and more cost-effective implementation of their projects.
