As the first of its kind, this authoritative reference serves as a pictorial guide to the design and fabrication of magnetic components-featuring step-by-step instructions on ordering raw materials, choosing construction techniques, conducting in-process inspection, performing end-item testing, and providing quality assurance recommendations to improve reliability and minimize cost.

Recommends specific winding procedures for toroidal, layer, bobbin, and foil wound coils.

With 400 easy-to-follow illustrations, High Reliability Magnetic Devices features in depth discussions on

• the maximization of output power in transformer design
• toroidal powder core selection
• transformer and inductor losses
• eddy currents and insulation
• annealing and stress-relief in magnetic cores
• magnet wire and electrical insulating materials
• soldering and magnet wire termination
• spot bonding and impregnating
• testing, evaluation, and quality assurance

and in relation to high voltage (HV), examines

• means of reducing high field density
• separation of high and low voltage circuits
• grounding
• component spacing

Showcasing the most up-to-date information, High Reliability Magnetic Devices is essential reading for manufacturing, electronics, and electrical engineers and technicians; designers of magnetic circuits and electric components; production managers; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
