2nd Generation of Corona-Free Custom Magnetics Solutions

Bicron Electronics Company, manufacturer of high-reliability, custom magnetics, is pleased to announce the latest advance in its line of VoltBoss™ corona-free transformers. Corona bloom, a corrosive effect of partial discharge, is a leading cause of failure in magnetics components. The new, 2nd generation of VoltBoss™ transformers have been developed to eliminate corona failure (dielectric breakdown) for voltages up to 4.5kV in a heretofore difficult to obtain 1 sq. in. footprint. This technology, frequently misunderstood as only applying to large, high voltage magnetics devices, is equally important in smaller magnetics devices in operating environments as low as 300V employed in equipment that must operate reliably over their lifetime – often decades. This new transformer platform measuring just over 2 cu. in and weighing just 2.5 oz. achieves a partial discharge specification of the unheard-of level of <10 pC @ 4.5 kV.
