Inductive components are key elements in electric carsBatteries, energy converters and electric motors are the components which will power up the cars to a new technology level. To power up all the auxiliary electronics inside the cars, a 1.5kW to 3kW DC-DC converter is used. This converter must isolate the 14 VDC voltage output from the high voltage 400V batteries to protect users from electric discharges. The key element to perform this task is the high power transformer. This transformer must withstand a 3000 V isolation level during one minute in a 20 square centimetre converter size. Also the current passing through this inductor is very high, from 90 to 200 A, with minimum power losses, no more than 30W. With these restrictions, old inductive wire wound manufacturing technologies are obsolete, and here is where PREMO offers the new HPT series.
