| Abstract [eng] |
In this paper, the main aim of the study was the investigation of the possibilities of power inductor design, reflecting the performance of the component itself, as well as the operational efficiency of the power factor correction (PFC) converter. PFC inductors represent a key component of the converter, while within the design of any magnetic component, several design rules must be considered to provide proper operational performance. Here we discuss skin-effect, while the proximity effect and formation of fringing flux pose a more serious problem in terms of mitigating their negative impact. Therefore, in this study, the space is devoted exclusively to the analysis of the impact of the fringing flux of the PFC inductor and subsequently to the possibilities of its suppression. The resulting optimizations are reflected in the investigation of the operational efficiency of the PFC converter. |
