3 Phase Inductors

 

3 Phase Inductors


Our custom three-phase inductors are used in applications including aviation, power conditioning, renewable energy power conversion, and high-power battery charging, to name a few.

 

Designs may incorporate foil and high-temperature windings, strip-wound amorphous metal, ferrite or high-grade steel cores. Dimensions and mountings are tailored to suit your specific needs. Inductors can also be incorporated into the primary winding of a transformer to save both cost and space.

FAQs for Custom Inductors

 

What types of custom inductors do you manufacture?

We manufacture custom inductors, reactors, and chokes using a wide range of state-of-the-art magnetic core materials, including electrical grade steel laminations, ferrites, powdered iron, nickel-iron alloy, amorphous metal strip-wound cores, and nanocrystalline cores. Our designs can be tailored for DC or AC applications and are available in various mounting configurations to suit your needs.


Which industries and applications use your custom inductors?

Our custom three-phase inductors are used in applications such as aviation, power conditioning, renewable energy power conversion, and high-power battery charging. We also support OEM, commercial, and industrial clients across Canada with solutions for high-frequency and switch-mode applications.


Can your inductors meet specific safety and certification standards?

Yes, our inductors can be designed to meet CSA and UL safety requirements or MIL PRF 27 for aerospace and military applications. We also offer encapsulation and a variety of coatings for additional protection and compliance.


What are the advantages of choosing a custom inductor over a standard part?

Custom inductors are engineered to match your exact specifications, including dimensions, mounting, electrical performance, and duty cycle. This results in parts that offer better fit, improved efficiency, and reliability compared to off-the-shelf options, which may not always be readily available or suitable for your application.


What information should I provide to request a quote for a custom inductor?

To receive an accurate quote, please provide details such as required inductance, current rating, voltage, frequency, preferred core material, mounting configuration, and any special requirements for coatings or certifications. Sharing your application details or schematic can help us deliver the best solution for your needs.
