PREMO has announced the 3DP-Series (3kW_HVLV & 7kW_HVHV) Transformer + Chokes, providing up to 40-50% reduction in volume compared with current discrete industrial solutions for the same power management. Other topologies and powers are under design (11kW and 22kW).
PREMO is investing in innovative inductive components designs applying the 3DPower concept coming from their large experience in 3D-magnetic sensors using in LF (low frequency) for RFID applications.
Once electromagnetic performance is reached, internal and external thermal links are the most important question to solve in the design if these 3D-PowerTM components: “Heat Dissipation”.
Thermal behavior has been solved using thermal conductive plastics on the bobbins to create a thermal link between the wire and the core: thermal pad or thermal liquid gap filling material, thermal liquid gap filler dispensed to guarantee reliable thermal link between bobbins, windings and core. Core adhesive is also a key from the MTBF point of view (core cracks due to temperature gradient between heat and cold halve) producing a big or low thermal resistance.
Most of the Power Converters (resonant topologies) in the market has a Transformer, Resonant choke and Output choke. Every component has their own design, core, winding and thermal dissipation solution.
3DPower is a unique solution just in one single component. This is a super advantage starting at the beginning of the value chain:
The 3DP-componetns typically meet the AEC-Q200 (specific automotive quality standard) and other more restrictive customer automotive supplier standards.
