Abstract

The use of wide-bandgap devices such as SiC and GaN has improved the efficiency and power density of power converters compared with conventional Si devices. However, a significant portion of the efficiency loss and volume in power converters is attributed to the magnetic components, particularly the challenges of miniaturization and loss reduction. This is due to the use of nonsinusoidal waveforms, with high-frequency switching of the PWM inverter introducing ripple components that exhibit complex loss characteristics. In this study, we propose a method for selecting magnetic materials for AC filter inductors based on loss and volume considerations. In addition, the effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through experiments.
