Noise Suppression Spike Killer Cores

MSK series

Cores of the MSK series are made of a thin amorphous tape (18 ± 2 μm) based on cobalt AMAG 172, have a rectangular hysteresis loop and significantly higher magnetic permeability compared to cores made of permalloy alloys based on Fe-Ni and ferrite analogs.

Having a very high inductance at the moment of current zero crossing, these products effectively block rapid changes in electrical current that could lead to electrical noise and interference, as well as damage to semiconductor devices by short high-potential surges.

This class of products provides a higher effective suppression of interference, essentially eliminating the cause of their occurrence, significantly reduces losses compared to classic RC dampers and ferrite cores of similar purpose.

DESIGN:

The twisted tape magnetic core is placed in a rigid protective container made of glass-filled polyamide and mechanically fixed with silicone sealant. The container provides reliable mechanical protection of the amorphous material and the preservation of its properties.
