TDK Senten Manten Silver Award
Gateway Electronic Components have been awarded a Silver Senten Manten award from TDK this Autumn in recognition of the company’s unique and differentiated position in the ferrite and power sectors and the contribution made to supply competence and efficiency in the TDK distributor channel.
Harmonic Filtering and Reactive Power Compensation
Having issues with your power solution? Need better Power Quality and Energy Efficiency? There are many factors that can negatively impact on the power supply, and this can cause an increase in energy drawn from the network to compensate for these issues, which in turn increases energy costs and could reduce the life expectancy of some parts.
High Power Resistors
High power resistors are designed to dissipate large amounts of power, it is a common trait amongst all high-power resistors that they dissipate as much power as possible whilst keeping the form factor as small as possible.
Distributed Air Gaps 2021
Ferrite cores and single air gaps are very common as this technique of a single gap is able to delay the core saturation and as a results increase the cores performance. However its not all good as these relatively large single gaps cause higher fringing flux which will lead to additional copper losses in the windings, especially when operating at high frequencies. Now single gaps aren’t bad by any means as the pros out way the cons, however can we improve this technique even further and reduce the cons?
