MnZn JFE No. 8 5 6 p. 32 37 MnZn Ferrites with Low Loss and High Flux Density for Power Supply Transformer FUJITA Akira JFE Ph. D. FUKUDA Yutaka JFE NISHIZAWA Keitarou JFE TOGAWA Jirou MnZn Fe2O3 1 C NiO NiO Fe2O3 1 C 2 MB1H 3 Abstract: New MnZn ferrite with high saturation flux density, Bs was developed as a material suitable for transformer cores built into fly-back mode power supplies. Addition of NiO into the ternary Mn-Zn-Fe-O system requires higher Fe content to keep the temperature of minimum iron loss at around 1 C, compared to the original composition. This modification results in enhancement of Bs at 1 C. The new product MB1H was realized by choosing optimal composition so that Bs becomes high and iron loss is moderate. The transformer made with MB1H, designed to generate the same output power as ones with conventional materials, has proved to increase saturation flux density 2% at 1 C and to reduce 3% in volume. 1.
