Abstract
New foil cut inductors reduce AC resistance in gapped inductors while maintaining a low DC resistance as well. This decrease in AC resistance will increase the efficiency of the inductor and decrease power losses. This new foil cut technology is examined in a 110 μH center leg gap inductor using various cut out shapes as well as different winding styles to gather comparative data. Maintaining a low cost and high efficiency are two primary goals for the new winding design.
