Abstract :
Magnetic components, operating on the principle of magnetization of a core, in converters and inverters are discussed. The functions of the components in switching circuits and their inherent advantages for filtering, insulation, and isolation are shown. "Soft" commutation, for suppression of silicon controlled rectifier circuit switching losses, is explained.
