Insulations for metallic glasses in pulse power systems
Insulations are used in metallic glass ribbon cores in pulse power applications to prevent interlaminar eddy currents due to voltages induced between adjacent laminations. These interlaminar eddy currents can greatly increase the losses in cores, and, thereby, decrease the pulse permeability at high magnetization rates. This paper reports results of experiments with various insulation materials and both low and high induced anisotropy energy iron-base metallic glass ribbons. Co-wound insulation films as well as conformal insulations were investigated. Magnetic properties and voltage hold-off strengths are reported. 11 refs., 11 figs., 5 tabs.
