Missing Transformer Data (E-Cores)

Posted by: foundgiant on
In version v6.5 there was the option to restrict the transformer choice to sizes commonly available for Europe etc. In this case the software just picked cores from the E-Series (e.g. EPCOS). I understand that I can now manually do the same thing with the component sets, but these libraries miss a lot of the cores that were available in the last version (e.g. E16/8/5). Also the definitions of the parameters needed to define custom transformers (LT, BFW) are unclear to me, especially since they don't appear like this in the last version. I could also not find a definition of them in the help file. Would be possible to provide the missing cores from the last version and have predefined component sets (America, Europe, Asia) like in the precious version? Thanks for your help.

Thanks foundgiant

I'll bring this up with the PI Expert team. Doesn't sound impossible.

Cheers

In version 7.0 you can not only define your own magnetics and diodes and capacitors but you can create custom component lists. So for example in your list you could only include 5 or 6 cores and ask the software to present designs with these cores only. See a "how to" video on this at http://www.powerint.com/en/design-support/pi-expert-design-software Click on the "How to Design with Your Own Custom Component Lists" (4th link from top)

Thanks for your advices. I actually had more problems with figuring out how to enter the actual transformer data and what the abbreviations mean. The video "Adding a Custom Transformer into the Component Library" which can be found here http://www.powerint.com/en/design-support/pi-expert-design-software was of great help. One question that wasn't answer is, why do you have less components in the libraries than you had in the earlier versions. Of course I can include my transformers manually, but why should I invest time, if you have most probably done so already ...? Hopefully its clearer this time. Thanks again for your help.
