The price issue is the biggest concern of users, especially those customers who are ready to use or just starting to use. Price and production have a direct relationship, in recent years, with the applications of nanocrystalline core is more and more extensive, and the nanocrystalline cores not only used in inverter welding machine, but also used in electrolytic plating equipment, induction heating equipment, charging equipment, communication power supply, UPS power supply, X-ray electrical power source, laser power supply, frequency control power supply and so on. Due to the output of nanocrystalline cores is getting larger and larger, and the price has also been greatly reduced than before. Now, the current price has been reduced by about 40% , and with the continuous increase of application, the price will be lower and lower, and the price of nanocrystalline cores will be close to the price of ferrite cores.
At present, for the high-power power supplies that more than 15 KW, the actual price of nanocrystalline iron cores is lower than ferrite iron cores. Because the size of the ferrite core is limited, and one magnetic core is difficult to meet the power requirements, and several iron cores have to be used, but for nanocrystalline core, only one is fine. From the view of unit price, the ferrite cores is much cheaper, but the total price of several ferrite iron cores is higher than the price of one nanocrystalline iron core.
