APPLICATIONS
Microsil
   Silicon
   Grain
   Oriented
   Steel
1,2 mil M,L
C, E
At high frequencies where eddy current loss is significant, pulse transformers, chokes.
4 mil H
C, E
Up to 16 KG, at 400 Hz; transformers, filter chokes, reactors, amplifiers, pulse transformers
4 mil Z
C, E
At inductions from 16 KG to 17.5 KG in similar applications as 4 mil H.
7 mil J
C, E
Up to 18.0 KG, the performance of 7 mil material at 400 Hz will be equal to or better than the performance of 4 mil class MH or MZ cores.
9 mil AZ, SZ
C, E
Up to 18.5 KG, at 60 Hz. Applications are the same as A and S materials but can be used in smaller envelope requirements.
12 mil A, S
C, E
Up to 18.5 KG at 60 Hz for transformers, filter chokes, reactors, magnetic amplifiers (exciting current increases rapidly above 15 KG)
Supermendur
4 mil
C, E
At 400 Hz to 800 Hz, highest flux density; power transformer, filter chokes.
Superperm 49
50% NiFe
1, 2, 4 mil
C, E
At high frequencies or in pulse transformers requiring higher pulse permeability and lower cores loss than Microsil
Superperm 80
80% NiFe
1, 2, 4 mil
C, E
At high frequencies, low noise, power and pulse transformers requiring low remanence, highest permeability and lowest loss.
