Flat wire increases surface area by up to 60%, supporting better skin effect at higher frequencies. Ideal for high-current solutions in UPS, solar, automotive, and industrial applications.

Powder cores are distributed gap cores with excellent inductance stability under DC/AC conditions, high resistivity, low hysteresis, and eddy current losses.

Why Toroidal Cores Are Preferred Over EI/EE/C Foil Inductors:

Lower parasitic capacitance

Safer production process

Reduced DC noise and EMI

Lower leakage flux

Main Applications:
Flat wire toroidal inductors are widely used as boost inductors and inverter inductors in:
- New energy vehicles
- Charging stations
- UPS
- Photovoltaic inverters.
