LC Series

New standard range of NANOPERM® based LC-series nanocrystalline cores is developed specially for making small size common-mode chokes. Use of LC series cores as magnetic circuits of common-mode chokes gives a number of advantages as compared with a use of high-permeability ferrites.

Main advantages: Significant decrease of geometrical dimensions, of weight, higher range of operating temperatures and high stability of parameters. More detailed description of advantages see here.

* — Specified value of operating current relates to common-mode choke not having a forced cooling.

Used denominations:
N — number of winding’s turns
dcu — copper wire’s cross section diameter (it is recommended to use a licentrate)
Lnom — nominal value of common-mode choke winding’s inductance
