High-frequency inverter power supplies operate at a frequency range of 20 kHz to 50 kHz. The main transformer serves as the core component of a power supply. Although ferrite, the traditional magnetic core material, features relatively low high-frequency loss, it delivers unsatisfactory magnetic properties at frequencies below 100 kHz. In addition, its low saturation magnetic flux density (Bs) leads to larger size and heavier weight of magnetic cores. Furthermore, ferrite has a low Curie temperature and poor thermal stability. A slight temperature rise will reduce its Bs value, making the core susceptible to magnetic saturation and unstable operation, so it is not suitable for high-frequency and high-power operating conditions. With excellent comprehensive magnetic properties, nanocrystalline toroidal cores (ultra-microcrystalline cores) have become the premier choice as transformer cores for high-frequency  inverter power supplies nanocrystalline core

I. Advantages of Nanocrystalline Materials

Nanocrystalline toroidal cores integrate the advantages of silicon steel, permalloy and ferrite, detailed as follows:

High Magnetic Flux Density Its saturation magnetic flux density Bs is 1.2 T, twice that of permalloy and 2.5 times that of ferrite. The core achieves high power density ranging from 15 kW/kg to 20 kW/kg.

High Magnetic Permeability Its static initial permeability μ₀ can reach 120,000 to 140,000, equivalent to that of permalloy. For power transformer applications, Nanocrystalline Cores for High-Power Transformers is more than ten times that of ferrite, which greatly cuts down excitation power and improves transformer efficiency.

Low Core Loss Within the frequency band of 20 kHz to 50 kHz, its core loss is 1/2 to 1/5 of ferrite, effectively suppressing temperature rise of the magnetic core.

High Curie Temperature The Curie temperature of nanocrystalline toroidal cores is up to 570 °C, while the Curie temperature of ferrite is only 180 °C to 200 °C.

Benefiting from the above merits, transformers made of nanocrystalline cores greatly improve the reliability of inverter power supplies:

Low loss brings low temperature rise of transformers. Long-term practical application by numerous users proves that the temperature rise of high-permeability nanocrystalline transformer cores is far lower than that of IGBT devices.

High core permeability reduces excitation power and copper loss, boosting transformer efficiency. The large primary inductance of the transformer alleviates current impact on IGBT devices during switching operations.

High operating magnetic flux density brings a high power density of 15 kW/kg, realizing miniaturization of magnetic cores. Especially for high-power inverter power supplies, the smaller core size leaves more internal space inside the cabinet, facilitating heat dissipation of IGBT devices.

Strong overload resistance of the transformer. Since the operating magnetic flux density is set at approximately 40% of the saturation magnetic flux density, overload conditions only generate extra heat caused by increased magnetic flux, instead of damaging IGBT devices due to magnetic core saturation.

Thanks to the high Curie temperature of nanocrystalline toroidal cores, ferrite transformers will fail to work normally when the temperature exceeds 100 °C, whereas nanocrystalline transformers can operate stably without abnormality.

These superior properties of nanocrystalline materials have been recognized and adopted by an increasing number of power supply manufacturers. Many domestic manufacturers have adopted nanocrystalline cores and put them into practical use for years, and more manufacturers are starting formal adoption or trial application. At present, nanocrystalline cores are widely applied in inverter welding machines, communication power supplies, electroplating and electrolysis power supplies, induction heating power supplies, charging power supplies and other fields, and their application scale will expand significantly in the next few years.

Almost all nanocrystalline transformers are wound by complete machine manufacturers themselves. Different companies have different inverter circuit designs, different understandings of nanocrystalline cores, and different mastery of transformer making processes. As a result, transformers they make vary greatly in quality. Making high-frequency transformers is a key step in production. For this reason, some manufacturers hope to buy finished high-frequency transformers from professional suppliers instead of making them in-house.

High frequency transformers ferrite cores working at 20kHz to 50kHz , mostly U-type or EI-type, with a small number of O-type cores. U-type and EI-type cores are structurally hard to cut down transformer leakage inductance.

With the advantages of nanocrystalline cores, they become ideal materials to make smaller, more efficient high-frequency transformers, and help create a new structure for high-frequency transformers.

One patented design is named “Beetle” transformer. After further improvements, it became the patented “H-type” transformer. Both designs make full use of nanocrystalline cores’ features: high permeability, high magnetic flux density, low power loss and low magnetic leakage of ring cores. They adopt new primary and secondary winding structures. The metal shell protecting the core works as the secondary winding, fitting high-current output. The primary winding is wrapped evenly over the secondary winding, bringing very low leakage inductance. The fixing support and current output part are combined into one structure for better heat dissipation.

Advantages of this transformer:

High power: 10 kW ~ 20 kW, power density reaches 15 kW ~ 20 kW per kilogram

Low leakage inductance: normally below 5 μH, top versions less than 2 μH

High efficiency: over 99%

Small size and light weight: a 15 kW transformer weighs 3 kg, with dimensions 160×150×95 mm

Nice appearance

Due to special structure and complicated processing, this transformer has a relatively high price. It is now moderately used in electroplating and electrolysis power supplies, such as photovoltaic inverters, energy storage PCS, grid-tied inverters, off-grid inverters, main high-frequency transformers for energy storage, string inverters, commercial & industrial energy storage power supplies, residential energy storage systems, and nanocrystalline filter inductance cores for energy storage. It is hard to widely promote it in industries with fierce price competition. Therefore, the Ω-type transformer was developed.

The Ω-type transformer shares the same basic structure as common ring transformers, but with improved winding methods to lower leakage inductance and distributed capacitance. Its leakage inductance is generally below 10 μH. Its price is around 40% lower than Beetle-type or H-type transformers, attracting many manufacturers thanks to its good cost-performance.

Mass production of nanocrystalline transformers makes good use of the properties of nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials. It helps mass production and standardization of high-frequency power transformer cores, improves transformer efficiency and overall performance, and raises production efficiency for inverter welding machines, electroplating, electrolysis and other equipment. Several manufacturers are capable of producing such transformers at present. Some complete machine manufacturers have started to adopt Ω-type transformers for integrated production, which is an efficient, cost-saving and productive solution.

In the application of nanocrystalline toroidal cores (ultra-microcrystalline iron cores) in inverter power supplies, certain problems including noise, brittleness and inconsistent performance once emerged, hindering their popularization and application to a certain extent and attracting widespread attention. These issues have been gradually resolved at present.

(I) Noise Issue

Noise originates from multiple causes:

Magnetostriction coefficient of the raw material itself: Ferrite materials feature relatively high magnetostriction coefficients; even solid ferrite cores may generate noise during operation. Nanocrystalline materials deliver varying magnetostriction coefficients subject to different alloy compositions. Early adopted general-purpose alloy formulations led to prominent noise in finished transformers. With in-depth research and application development, customized alloy compositions have been developed for different scenarios to meet the special magnetic requirements of various components. For instance, dedicated formulations have been developed for power output transformers, current transformers, nanocrystalline toroidal common-mode inductors, etc. Alloy compositions optimized for power transformers effectively reduce the magnetostriction coefficient, and practical application by customers verifies that noise has been greatly mitigated.

Tightness of core winding: This is highly correlated with the quality of strip raw material. Dimensional tolerance and uneven thickness of strips will result in loose winding of cores and consequent noise. Optimized compositions improve the fluidity of molten steel, promoting better forming quality of strips, which lays a solid foundation for core noise reduction.

Defects in inverter circuit design: Excessive DC component in the circuit elevates the operating magnetic flux density of the core and triggers noise. Our experiments prove that noise intensifies as operating magnetic flux density rises. Some manufacturers adopt DC-blocking circuit designs, achieving noise-free operation of nanocrystalline cores for years.

Thanks to the above optimizations, the noise problem has been basically solved.

(II) Brittleness Issue

The most prominent customer complaint regarding nanocrystalline cores is brittleness manifested as core chipping. It not only complicates assembly operation but also poses hidden short-circuit risks to circuits. After years of research and trials, brittleness has been substantially improved via composition adjustment and process optimization. Modified formulations greatly enhance the flexibility of strips, and thinner strip thickness further reduces brittleness. In addition, a stress-free adhesive impregnation process is adopted in core production to prevent fragmentation, thoroughly solving the chipping problem caused by brittleness. Meanwhile, the stress-free adhesive fixes interlayer gaps between strip layers, restraining resonance and further suppressing noise generation.

(III) Consistency Issue

Product consistency is associated with production scale and equipment capacity. In terms of strip quality, to produce 500 kg of strip material, equipment with a 500 kg single-batch capacity delivers far better consistency in composition and magnetic properties than 50 kg-batch equipment. The same rule applies to the heat treatment process during production. Larger production scales and higher-capacity equipment are conducive to improved consistency.

In actual customer application, poor consistency of nanocrystalline cores is mainly reflected in large dispersion of saturation voltage and inductance, with values sometimes differing by more than double. Root causes include insufficient effect of magnetic field heat treatment and lack of classification & screening in incoming inspection. Composition modification for power transformer applications not only improves brittleness but also lowers residual magnetic flux density of the material, strengthening the effect of magnetic field heat treatment, boosting core saturation voltage, and playing a vital role in improving product consistency.

The industry has gone through a gradual cognition process regarding magnetic property requirements of nanocrystalline cores  inverter power supplies . In early years with low consumption volume, only core loss was required to meet the standard, hence only core loss was tested in routine inspection; individual customers additionally required induction voltage testing. Growing market demand has raised diversified requirements, among which consistency stands out as a critical indicator. Due to the lagging cognition of this demand, upgrades in composition modification, production arrangement and testing standards fell behind market needs, restricting product promotion. At present, sufficient attention has been paid to this problem, and multiple effective measures have been implemented to greatly improve product consistency.

(IV) Price Issue

Price is the top concern for customers, especially those preparing to adopt or newly adopting nanocrystalline products. Product price is directly linked to production volume. In recent years, expanding application scenarios have driven mass adoption of nanocrystalline iron cores, which are widely used not only in inverter welding machines, but also in industrial Inductor nanocrystalline core transformers, electroplating & electrolysis equipment, induction heating equipment, battery chargers, communication power supplies, UPS systems, X-ray power supplies, laser power supplies, variable-frequency speed regulation power supplies and other fields. Expanded output has brought a substantial price cut, with current prices around 40% lower than the initial launch price. Continuous volume growth will further drive prices down, narrowing the price gap between nanocrystalline cores and ferrite cores.

For high-power power supplies above 15 kW, nanocrystalline cores are already cheaper than ferrite cores in practical application. Restricted by maximum single-piece size of ferrite cores, multiple ferrite cores must be assembled to meet power demand for high-power transformers, while a single nanocrystalline core can fulfill the requirement independently. Although unit price of ferrite is lower, the total cost of multiple combined ferrite cores exceeds the cost of one nanocrystalline core.

In the research, production and mass manufacturing of switching power supplies, industrial control equipment and digital adapters, standard general electronic components can no longer meet the needs of precision equipment. Many magnetic components, including high-power through-hole filter inductors, EE13 power switching transformers and EE30 power drive transformers, need targeted customization. This is the key to ensuring stable operation of electronic products.

The through-hole filter inductor is a core component for equipment anti-interference, which mainly filters out EMI clutter in circuits. Different equipment has big differences in working frequency bands and current intensity. Standard inductors have fixed parameters, which often lead to insufficient filtering and excessive high-frequency interference. Customized inductors can adjust coil turns, core materials and pin spacing to fit the circuit features of different equipment. They also adapt to plug-in production processes, avoiding poor welding and low compatibility in mass production.

The EE13 power switching transformer is mostly used in small power adapters and low-voltage switching circuits. Such equipment has compact PCB space and strict requirements on component size and heat control. Standard EE13 switching transformers have single winding parameters, usually causing low energy conversion efficiency and serious equipment heat generation. Customization can accurately adjust core gaps and winding specifications to match the rated power of equipment, reduce size, lower power consumption and meet the miniaturization design needs of small devices.

Customization of the EE30 power drive transformer is especially important for medium and high-power industrial power supplies. As the core of power drive systems, it works under high voltage and large current, with strict standards for insulation voltage resistance and output stability.

Customization can optimize the frame structure, wire specifications and safety parameters, meet strict industrial certification standards, and greatly improve the stability and service life of industrial equipment. In short, component customization is not an unnecessary process. By customizing through-hole filter inductors and different types of EE transformers according to equipment demands, we can balance product performance, size and cost. It is an essential measure to improve the quality and production efficiency of electronic products.

You can confidently use a 172nm excimer lamp, even if you are new to this technology. This guide gives you simple steps and clear advice. You will find easy explanations for technical terms. You learn to match the lamp to your project and avoid mistakes.

What Is a 172nm Excimer Lamp?

How Excimer Lamps Work

You might ask how an excimer lamp makes light. The lamp has a special gas inside. When you turn it on, the gas forms excimer molecules. These molecules do not last long. When they go back to normal, they give off energy as ultraviolet, or uv, light. The 172nm excimer lamp shines uv light at 172 nanometers. This kind of light is much shorter than what your eyes can see.

Excimer lamps do not have filaments like normal bulbs. They use high-voltage discharge to excite the gas. This makes the lamp work well for some jobs. You get a strong and steady uv light from it.

Common Uses for 172nm Excimer Lamps

You can use 172nm Excimer VUV Light  for many things. The short wavelength helps clean and sterilize surfaces. People use them to remove organic stuff from glass or metal. You might see them in electronics too. Here, excimer lamps clean silicon wafers and get surfaces ready for bonding.

Some other uses are:

• Disinfecting water and air
• Breaking down bad stuff in the environment
• Curing special coatings or adhesives

The 172nm excimer lamp is best for deep cleaning or quick chemical changes. The strong uv energy can break up germs, dirt, or chemicals. That is why many people in science and industry use this lamp.

Choosing a 172nm Excimer Lamp

Define Your Project Needs

You should start by thinking about what you want to do with your lamp. Write down your main goal. Do you want to clean surfaces, cure coatings, or disinfect water? Each project needs a different setup. You may need a strong uv output for fast cleaning. You may want a steady light for curing glue.

You should also think about the size of the area you want to treat. A small lab test needs less power than a big factory line. If you know your project needs, you can pick the right excimer lamp.

Key Specifications to Compare

You will see many numbers when you look at excimer lamps. Some numbers matter more than others. Here are the key things to check:

• Wavelength: Make sure the lamp gives uv light at 172 nanometers. This is important for your results.
• Output Power: Higher power means stronger uv light. You may need more power for bigger jobs.
• Uniformity: Check if the lamp gives even light across the area. Uneven light can cause poor results.
• Cooling Needs: Some lamps get hot. See if you need extra cooling.
• Size and Shape: Pick a lamp that fits your workspace.

Lamp Lifetime and Stability

You want your lamp to last a long time. Check the lifetime rating. Most excimer lamps last from 2,000 to 10,000 hours. A longer life means you change the lamp less often.

Stability is also important. A stable lamp gives the same uv output every time you use it. This helps you get repeatable results. Ask the supplier for data on how stable the lamp stays over time.

Where to Buy and Supplier Tips

You should buy your 172nm excimer lamp from a trusted supplier. Look for companies with good reviews. Ask if they give support and answer questions. A good supplier will help you pick the right lamp and give you advice on setup.

Here are some tips:

• Ask for a warranty.
• Check if they offer technical support.
• See if they have spare parts.
• Compare prices, but do not pick only the cheapest.

Using a 172nm Excimer Lamp Safely

Unboxing and Inspection Steps

When you receive your 172nm excimer lamp, you should open the box carefully. Use clean hands or gloves to avoid getting dirt on the lamp. Check the lamp for cracks or broken parts. Look at the power cables and connectors. Make sure nothing looks damaged. If you see any problems, contact your supplier before you try to use the lamp.

You should also read the manual that comes with the lamp. The manual gives you important information about your model. It tells you about the right voltage and how to connect the lamp.

Installation and Power Setup

You need to place the excimer lamp in a clean and dry area. Make sure the lamp sits on a stable surface. Do not put it near water or in a dusty place. Connect the lamp to the power supply as the manual shows. Double-check the voltage and current settings. Wrong settings can damage the lamp.

Follow these steps for a safe setup:

1. Turn off the power before you connect anything.
2. Attach the lamp to the power supply using the right cables.
3. Secure the lamp in its holder or mount.
4. Check all connections again.
5. Turn on the power supply and watch for any warning lights or sounds.

Safety Precautions for Excimer Lamps

The light from an excimer lamp is very strong. It gives off uvc light, which can hurt your eyes and skin. Never look directly at the lamp when it is on. Always wear safety glasses that block uvc. You should also wear gloves and cover your skin.

Set up shields or barriers around the lamp. This keeps the uvc light from reaching people nearby. Only trained people should use the lamp. Put warning signs near the lamp to remind others about the danger.

Handling 172nm Light Attenuation

The 172nm light from your excimer lamp does not travel far in air. The energy drops quickly because air absorbs this short-wave uv. You need to keep the lamp close to the surface you want to treat. If you use the lamp for excimer lamp exposure, place the target just a few millimeters from the lamp window.

Some setups use a special chamber filled with an inert gas like nitrogen. This helps the 172nm light reach the surface better. If you want the best results, try to reduce the air gap between the lamp and your target.

Basic Troubleshooting

If your lamp does not turn on, check the power supply first. Make sure all cables are tight. Look for any warning lights on the power unit. If the lamp flickers or the uv output seems weak, turn off the lamp and let it cool. Check for dust or dirt on the lamp window. Clean it gently with a soft cloth if needed.

If you still have problems, read the manual again. Many manuals have a troubleshooting table. If you cannot fix the issue, contact your supplier for help.

Tips for Excimer Lamp Curing and Maintenance

Maintenance for Long Life

You want your 172nm excimer lamp to last as long as possible. Clean the lamp window often with a soft, lint-free cloth. Dust and fingerprints can block uv light and lower performance. Check the lamp for signs of wear or damage before each use. Replace any worn parts right away. Keep the lamp in a dry, cool place when you do not use it. Always follow the manufacturer's care instructions.

Maximizing Lamp Performance

You can get the best results from excimer lamp curing by keeping the lamp close to the surface. Make sure the lamp sits at the right angle for even uv exposure. Use a chamber with nitrogen if you need stronger uv output. This setup helps the uv light reach the coating better. Keep the lamp window clean for maximum power. If you see any drop in curing speed, check for dirt or damage.

Avoiding Common Mistakes

Many users make simple mistakes during excimer lamp curing. Do not let the lamp run too long without a break. Overheating can shorten its life. Always wear safety gear to protect your eyes and skin from uv. Never use the lamp on a wet or dirty surface. This can block the uv and cause poor coating results. Double-check the distance between the lamp and the coating for even curing.

Excimer Lamp Curing Best Practices

For the best excimer lamp curing, use uv-curable formulations made for this process. Apply the coating in a thin, even layer. Place the lamp close to the coating for strong uv exposure. Move the lamp slowly and steadily over the surface. Test a small area first to check the curing result. Adjust the speed and distance if needed. You will get smooth, strong coatings with these steps.

FAQ

What safety gear do you need when using a 172nm excimer lamp?

You should wear UV-blocking safety glasses, gloves, and long sleeves. This gear protects your eyes and skin from harmful UV light. Never look directly at the lamp.

Can you use a 172nm excimer lamp in open air?

You can use it in open air, but the UV light weakens quickly. For best results, keep the lamp close to the surface or use a chamber with nitrogen gas.

How do you know when to replace your excimer lamp?

Watch for lower UV output or flickering. If you see these signs, check the lamp hours. Most lamps last 2,000–10,000 hours. Replace the lamp if performance drops.

What should you do if the lamp does not turn on?

First, check the power supply and all cable connections. Make sure the voltage matches the lamp’s requirements. If the lamp still does not work, contact your supplier for help.

How Excimer Lamps Work

Excimer Formation

You discover that excimer lamps use a unique process to generate intense vuv light. When you activate the lamp, you apply an electrical pulse to the electrodes. The gas mixture inside the lamp, often xenon or krypton, responds to this energy. The atoms in the gas form excimer molecules. These molecules exist only in an excited state. You notice that excimer molecules do not form stable bonds in their ground state. They release energy quickly and return to their original atomic form.

You benefit from this rapid excimer formation. The process produces a strong burst of vuv light. The 172 nm excimer molecules emit photons at the 172 nm wavelength. This emission gives you access to high-energy uv light. You use excimer lamps for applications that require precise and powerful uv exposure. The excimer process stands out because it does not rely on mercury or traditional filament heating.

Excimer formation allows you to achieve high-speed surface modification and efficient curing in industrial settings.

UV Emission Process

You experience the excimer uv lamps emitting vuv light through a direct energy release. When excimer molecules return to their ground state, they emit photons at the 172 nm wavelength. This emission process delivers high photon energy. You use this energy to break chemical bonds in polymers and activate surfaces. The lamp produces a narrow-band vuv output, which gives you precise control over your curing and surface treatment processes.

You compare excimer lamps with traditional ultraviolet lamps. Excimer lamps offer several advantages:

• You achieve faster cross-linking in uv-curable formulations.
