Benefits of using C-Core vs EI Core Magnetics:
- C-Core has less stray flux/magnetic field.
- Great solution for audio/amplifier applications.
- Minimize impact of transformer to surrounding components.
- EI will require one or more of the following to minimize stray flux:
- “Flux band” outside each winding.
- Iron strap welded outside perimeter of core.
- Potting into ferrous metal can.
- C-core’s weigh less than EI due to rounded edges.
- C-core fully utilizes grain orientation of steel (EI core typically uses 60%-80%).
- Better utilization of steel means greater magnetic efficiency of C-Core.
- C-core is typically higher priced than traditional EI due to less flexibility to adjust core size of C-core.
- Industry is limited on core size availability
