Where typical ferrite cores can only operate up to a flux saturation level (Bsat) of 0.49 Tesla, an amorphous metal core can operate at 1.56 Tesla. Combined with operating at permeability similar to high-end ferrites and the flexibility of manufacturing large cores sizes these cores can be an ideal solution for many of these components. Nanocrystalline amorphous metal offers size, core and labor savings for various power conversion and EMC applications.
