What is BS EN IEC 63182-2about?
BS EN IEC 63182-2 is the second part in a multi-series that specifies the dimensions that are of importance for mechanical interchangeability for a preferred range of ring-cores (also called toroid’s) made of magnetic powder, the effective parameter values to be used in calculations involving them and gives guidelines on allowable limits of surface irregularities applicable to coated ring-cores.
The selection of core sizes for BS EN IEC 63182-2 is based on the philosophy of including those sizes which are industry standards, meaning that they are in broad-based use within the industry. BS EN IEC 63182-2 is considered as a sectional specification useful in the negotiations between magnetic powder core manufacturers and users about surface irregularities.
Who is BS EN IEC 63182-1for?
BS EN IEC 63182-2 on magnetic powder cores is relevant to:
- Metal and mining industry
- Manufacturers of electrical applications
- Mechanical engineers
- Metallurgists
Why should you use BS EN IEC 63182-2?
The magnetic core is a specific design of magnetic material in a particular shape that possesses high magnetic permeability. It is made of ferromagnetic metal such as iron, or ferrimagnetic compounds such as ferrites. The high permeability, relative to the surrounding air, causes the magnetic field lines to be concentrated in the core material.
BS EN IEC 63182-2 is helpful it confines and guides the magnetic fields in electrical, electromechanical, and magnetic devices.
BS EN IEC 63182-2 can ensure that the product emits significantly less stray magnetic energy, which means less risk of the transformer's magnetic field interfering with other components within the system.
BS EN IEC 63182-2 is beneficial as it can help in transferring electric energy from one circuit to another without the use of any moving parts. The energy is transferred through a shared magnetic field that results in changes in the flow of current from one circuit to the other. Choosing the right product, with improved permeability, can enhance the performance, energy efficiency and reliability of the product end-use.
