Abstract :
In this paper we show an application of the electromagnetic modeling in order to simulate nonlinear waveforms of power converters in a precise way. These power converters include inductors with soft ferrite cores. We show the simulated voltage and current waveforms of the ferrite inductor including the nonlinear effects of saturation and power losses in its core. We validate these results by comparison with those obtained by experiment. We present relevant results provided by the electromagnetic modeling.
