BS EN IEC 63093 is an international standard that discusses ferrite cores. The main objective of the BS EN IEC 63093 series is to ensure ferrite cores meet the required quality and performance levels so as to effectively avoid electromagnetic interference.
BS EN IEC 63093-6 is the sixth part in the BS EN IEC 63093 series that specifies the dimensions that are of importance for mechanical interchangeability for a preferred range of ETD-cores made of ferrite and the essential dimensions of coil formers to be used with them, as well the effective parameter values to be used in calculations involving them. It also gives guidelines on allowable limits of surface irregularities applicable to ETD-cores.
BS EN IEC 63093-6 on ETD-cores is relevant to:
ETD cores are widely used in inductors and power transformers in high-power applications, that are known for their properties of minimum winding resistance and efficiency.
BS EN IEC 63093-6 gives guidance on allowable limits of surface irregularities applicable to RM-cores in accordance with the relevant generic specification.
BS EN IEC 63093-6 provides the best guidance and primary dimensions on ETD-cores, parameters, pin locations, crystallites, and area with length reference for visual inspection.
BS EN IEC 63093-6 also helps identify surface defects in pot-cores, such as chips, cracks, ragged edges, pores and pull-out, which helps in mitigating overall application performance concerns. The limits of these surface irregularities are helpful to determine the extent of damage due to which product failure can occur.
Compliance with the best industry requirements on dimensions provided by BS EN IEC 63093-6 ensures mechanical interchangeability of complete assemblies and wound coil formers.
As a manufacturer, compliance with BS EN IEC 63093-6 can assist with maintaining uniformity and consistency in quality and performance of ETD-cores for use in power supplies.
