High current inductors are passive electronic components that store energy in a magnetic field. They are used in a variety of applications including power supplies, motor drives and renewable energy systems. In energy storage systems, high-current inductors are used to smooth the output voltage of batteries or other energy sources, reduce voltage fluctuations, and improve system stability.
New developments in high-current inductors focus on improving efficiency, reducing size and weight, and increasing power density. Some of the latest technologies under development include:
1. Multilayer inductors: These inductors utilize multiple layers of magnetic materials to increase their energy storage capacity while reducing their size and weight.
2. Nanocrystalline induction: These use nanocrystalline magnetic materials to provide high efficiency and reduced size.
