What is BS EN IEC 63093-2 about?
BS EN IEC 63093-2 is the second part of a multi-series of international standard on ‘Magnetic components, ferrite and magnetic powder materials.’
BS EN IEC 63093-2 specifies the dimensions that are of importance for mechanical interchangeability for a preferred range of pot-cores made of ferrite and the dimensional limits for coil formers to be used with them, as well as the effective parameter values to be used in calculations involving them. It also gives guidelines on the allowable limits of surface irregularities applicable to pot-cores by the relevant generic specification.
The selection of core sizes and shapes for this BS EN IEC 63093-2 is based on the philosophy of including those sizes which are industry standards, either by inclusion in a national standard or by broad-based use in industry.
Who is BS EN IEC 63093-2 for?
BS EN IEC 63093-2 on ferrite cores is relevant to:
- Ferrite core manufacturers and suppliers
- Transformer manufacturers
- Telecommunication industries
- Electronics industry
Why should you use BS EN IEC 63093-2?
A ferrite core is a type of magnetic core made of ferrite on which the windings of electric transformers and other wound components such as inductors are formed.
BS EN IEC 63093-2 covers principal dimensions of pot-cores that help to design for optimum dimensions based upon minimum loss. As a result, you can avoid the uneven distribution of gaps which leads to larger losses due to larger gaps.
BS EN IEC 63093-2 also helps identify surface defects in pot-cores, such as chips, cracks, ragged edges, pores and pull-out, which helps in mitigating overall application performance concerns.
As a manufacturer, compliance with BS EN IEC 63093-2 can assist with maintaining uniformity and consistency in quality and performance of ferrite cores irrespective of the application where used.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN IEC 63093-2:2020 supersedes BS EN 62317‑2:2010, which is withdrawn and includes the following technical changes:
- Addition of the limits of surface irregularities
- Table 4 and Table 5 are updated by IEC 60205:2016
