VITROVAC 6025 Z - AMORPHOUS CORES & VITROPERM 500 Z - NANOCRYSTALLINE CORES FOR MAGAMPS
 

Magnetic Amplifiers (MagAmps) made of amorphous and nanocrystalline tape-wound cores are worldwide well established for precise output voltage regulation in PC- and Server Switched Mode Power Supplies, as well as Telecom and Industrial Power Supplies.

  VITROVAC 6025Z cores feature a highly square hysteresis loop, lowest coercivity and lowest losses
  VITROVAC 6025 Z and nanocrystalline VITROPERM 500 Z feature a highly square hysteresis loop, lowest coercivity and lowest losses. VITROPERM can be used up to an upper operational limit temperature of 120 ¡ãC.
VITROPERM 500 F - NANOCRYSTALLINE TAPE-WOUND CORES FOR COMMON MODE CHOKES - PLASTIC CASE AND EPOXY COATED CORES
  Common Mode Chokes with toroidal tape wound cores of VITROPERM allow the ffective attenuation of asymmetrical and conducted high frequency noise. The high permeability of the nanocrystalline core material achieves superior characteristics at low and middle frequencies, as well as in the high frequency range, when an optimized winding arrangement is chosen. In comparison to conventional ferrite, advantages over the entire frequency range are obtained.

All tape-wound cores listed below are inserted in plastic cases. These allow best magnetic properties, offer good mechanical protection and are suitable for direct winding. Epoxy coated cores are listed in our VF-Core Series.

All tape-wound cores listed below are epoxy coated and offer a big winding area. The coating offers good mechanical protection and is suitable for direct winding. However, additional isolation means are recommended in case of enhanced isolation requirements. VITROPERM cores in plastic cases are listed in the following table Type Series, cased Cores

The VF-Type Series is available in ¦Ì-levels of ¦Ì = 18 000, ¦Ì = 30 000 und ¦Ì > 50 000, allowing a variety of industrial solutions
CORES FOR POWER TRANSFORMER
  For the supply of electrical devices and equipments in the industrial range today almost exclusively switched mode power supplies , which supply one or more DC output voltages, are used
  Different converter principles are in use, depending upon the power range.flyback converters (to approx. 500W), single ended forward transformer (to approx. 1000W) or push - pull converters (up to the KW range) are common
  Particularly for push - pull converters, toroidal tape-wound cores made of the nanocrystalline material VITROPERM are recommended. Advantages over ferrites are achieved by the substantially higher induction swing (high Bs) in connection with low hysteresis losses: lower weight, smaller volume, higher efficiency and an extended temperature range (to 120 ¡ãC) with negative coefficient
  The advantages mentioned are the more pronouncedly, the larger the transferred power is
CURRENT SENSORS
  VAC current sensors for the isolated measurement of high frequency currents of arbitrary waveforms including DC are in use from the smallest up to the highest power applications in industry
 
  • three - phase drives, servo drives, generators
  • power converters for DC - drives
  • battery operated applications
  • uninterruptable power supplies
  • switched mode power supplies
  • welding inverters
As the only manufacturer worldwide, VAC offers high accuracy current sensors which use a soft-magnetic probe instead of the hall generator as the magnetic field detector in a compensation-type sensor
In comparison with conventional sensors, our products offer some principle-related advantages
  • very small offset current with negligibly long-term drift
  • practically no temperature-dependent offset
  • very small hysteresis of the offset current - high resolution at low currents
  • high usable temprature range (e.g. up to 110 ¡ãC in an IGBT module)
  • the magnetic module can be separated from the electronics for applicational flexibility
  • no electronics adjustment necessary
  • attractively prized
The electronics presented are intended for the operation with VAC passive current sensors. Dependig on the type of electronics, one, two or three sensor modules can be connected
CURRENT TRANSFORMERS FOR ELECTRONIC WATT-HOUR METERS
Electronic watt-hour meters have gradually been replacingthe electro-mechanical Ferraris¨Cmeters in industry forsome years. Because of their many advantages such asextended scope of functions with system capabilities,insusceptibility to mechanical wear, small size and higheraccuracy, they are also increasingly spread in privatehouseholds all over the world. Their area of applicationcovers a wide range from local individual devices throughpre-payment meters right up to (supra)regional networkedremote control and readout systems.
One of the key components in multi-phase and partly alsoin single-phase meters is the current transducer. Thisprovides the electrical network isolation and supplies anaccurate measuring variable (signal voltage) for the primarycurrent. With respect to its measuring error, it must meetthe requirements defined in the various technical standardsfor the respective device accuracy class. In Europe theseare usually the standards IEC 61036 for directly connectedmeters and IEC 687 for indirectly connected meters; forthe Anglo-American market the standards of the ANSIC12.xx series for both types of connections.
There is a number of principles for implementation of thecurrent transducer of which the toroidal core currenttransformer with low burden resistor has several obviousadvantages
  • closed magnetic circuit:less sensitive to interference fieldsusually no shielding required
  • magnetic function principle withoutsemiconductors:high long-term stabilitylow need for additonal circuitry
  • simple assembly with just a few parts:low assembly expenses, compact designsattr active prices
