Pulse Charging Cores
MK Magnetics, Inc. develops pulse charging cores that provide the reliability and performance needed in high-energy applications. Through decades of research and manufacturing expertise, we supply magnetic components that serve critical roles in pulse charging manufacturing, defense programs, high-voltage equipment, and accelerator technologies.
Role of Magnetic Cores in Pulse Charging
Magnetic cores are essential to pulsed power systems where short bursts of energy must be transferred with precision. They regulate magnetic fields, reduce losses, and maintain efficiency across repeated high-rate pulses. For pulse transformers and inductive voltage adders, the choice of core material directly impacts durability, efficiency, and performance. MK Magnetics delivers solutions for engineers and system designers requiring magnetic core pulse charging components that perform consistently under demanding conditions.
Materials for Pulse Charging Manufacturing
MK Magnetics engineers work with several types of materials to address varying pulse power requirements:
- Nanocrystalline Cores: Tape-wound with insulation, these cores are valued for lower energy loss and higher efficiency compared with other materials. Testing confirms their superior performance under high magnetization rates.
- Amorphous Cores: Traditionally used as baselines in testing, these materials are heavier in losses but still important in certain applications. They provide consistent magnetics, offering linearity and reliability in rise times during pulse operations.
By offering multiple material options, MK Magnetics provides solutions that fit both high-efficiency designs and more cost-conscious systems.
Core Configurations and Manufacturing Options
Pulse charging cores can be manufactured in different configurations depending on performance requirements:
- Tacked Cores: Basic construction with lightly measurable strength to preserve magnetics.
- Epoxied Cores: Added strength against mechanical stresses such as telescoping or unwinding.
- Stacked Cores: Multiple cores assembled to increase voltage holdoff in demanding environments.
Each configuration offers different benefits, and MK Magnetics works with clients to match the right design to the application.
Performance and Testing
Pulse charging cores must withstand repeated high-current conditions while minimizing loss. Testing shows that nanocrystalline cores have much lower losses than amorphous HB1M cores, while still maintaining strong flux swing capacity. Oxide insulation allows nanocrystalline cores to achieve higher holdoff voltages, tested successfully near 5kV pulse without degradation.
These performance results are critical for pulse charging manufacturing, where efficiency and repeatability are priorities. MK Magnetics applies this data to deliver products with proven reliability.
