Ferrite Core Transformer Calculation Software

Unlike standard laminated iron transformers that operate at 50/60Hz, ferrite transformers usually run from 20kHz to several MHz. At these speeds, physical phenomena like the skin effect and proximity effect become dominant. Standard equations often fail to account for the non-linear core losses (Steinmetz coefficients) and temperature-dependent permeability of ferrite materials like N87 or 3C90. Software tools automate these iterations, allowing designers to swap core shapes—like EE, EFD, or Toroidal—instantly to see the impact on leakage inductance and window utilization.
