The PT400-1200HM is also used in home appliances, especially in inverters. The inverter converts the every AC to the DC so that the domestic appliances can easily use the electrical power. The small size, wide range of applications and low cost make it an ideal choice for powering a wide variety of domestic appliances such as TVs, air conditioners, washing machines, dishwashers and more.

Working Principle of the PT400-1200HM

The PT400-1200HM has an extruded metal core with a single-layer winding of copper wire around it. Due to this winding, the magnetic field forms a loop around the core, which is referred to as inductance. This induces a current in the coil when exposed to a varying current or voltage. When the primary current is increased, the rate of change in the primary current increases, thus inducing a greater voltage across the coil. The current that flows through the coil is proportional to the rate of change in the primary current. This phenomenon is referred to as the magnetic properties of the device.

The device is also used in many filter applications because it offers excellent stability and low insertion losses. The inserts limit the amount of high frequency signals to pass through, thus eliminating any disturbances and maintaining a stable signal. This makes the device ideal for industrial applications where stability, reliability and accuracy are paramount.

Conclusion

The PT400-1200HM is a versatile Fixed Inductor which offers numerous applications. It has a high current/ power rating, excellent insulation level, wide rated temperature range and good mechanical strength. The device is also used in many filtering applications, thanks to its stability and low insertion losses. Due to these features, it is an ideal choice for many applications such as inverters, power supplies, DC/DC converters, switch-mode power supplies, domestic appliances, industrial automation, renewable energy, automotive, communications, medical, audio, data transmission and more.
