AC inductors
Dedicated algorithms for AC reactors, single-phase and three-phase. Flux density is selected automatically from the harmonics and core type, and any inductance can be calculated as long as it is on a core.
DC inductors
Calculation of smoothing and power-conversion inductors, with any waveform and for any application.
- Sinusoidal and triangular waveforms
- Several ripple harmonics can be entered
- Air gap optimisation
Air gaps distributed along the limb
Clever defines air gaps with an original, precise method based on their distribution along the limb, which reduces the need for changes during testing. Drawings include gap details and the clamping systems needed to handle vibration forces.
Losses and temperature rise
Core loss is calculated taking harmonics into account. The temperature-rise calculation splits the unit into small sections and accounts for heat conduction between them.
Cost, stock and production
Material cost is calculated instantly, with margin analysis that accounts for construction complexity. Stock integration handles gapped cores specifically, and bills of materials and production parameters go to your ERP and production machines.
Inductor design questions
Which inductors can I design with Clever Suite?
Single-phase and three-phase AC inductors, and DC inductors with any waveform for any application. Power limits are the same as for transformers.
How are the air gaps defined?
With an original, precise method based on their distribution along the limb, which reduces the need for changes during testing. In DC inductors the gap is optimised.
Does the calculation account for harmonics?
Yes. In AC inductors flux density is chosen from harmonics and core type, and core loss accounts for harmonics. In DC inductors you can enter several ripple harmonics.
Which waveforms are supported for DC inductors?
Sinusoidal and triangular waveforms, with several ripple harmonics if needed.
Does the software generate construction drawings?
Yes, including gap details and the clamping systems needed to handle vibration forces.
