Ferrite cores - Guidelines on dimensions and the limits of surface irregularities - Part 12: Ring-cores

This part of IEC 63093 specifies the dimensions that are of importance for mechanical
interchangeability for a preferred range of ring-cores, also called toroid cores, and the
effective parameter values to be used in calculations involving them. It also gives guidelines
on allowable limits of surface irregularities applicable to ring-cores.
This document is a specification useful in the negotiations between ferrite core manufacturers
and users about surface irregularities.

FERRITE CORES – GUIDELINES ON DIMENSIONS
AND THE LIMITS OF SURFACE IRREGULARITIES –

Part 12: Ring-cores

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 63093-12 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 51:
Magnetic components, ferrite and magnetic powder materials.
This first edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 62317-12 published in 2016 and
the second edition of IEC 60424-4 published in 2015. This edition constitutes a technical
revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 62317-
12:2016 and IEC 60424-4:2015:
a) IEC 63093-12 integrates the contents of IEC 62317-12:2016 and IEC 60424-4:2015.

Part 12: Ring-cores



1 Scope
This part of IEC 63093 specifies the dimensions that are of importance for mechanical
interchangeability for a preferred range of ring-cores, also called toroid cores, and the
effective parameter values to be used in calculations involving them. It also gives guidelines
on allowable limits of surface irregularities applicable to ring-cores.
This document is a specification useful in the negotiations between ferrite core manufacturers
and users about surface irregularities.

4.2.2 Identification of standard sizes
Table 2 shows the nominal dimensions for the range of standard ring-cores. Table 2 also
shows, where applicable, the origin and regional name of each standard size, whether from
historical European sizes, historical Japanese sizes, or historical USA sizes. The previous
IEC TR 61604 (now withdrawn) detailed the different ring sizes that were tooled and
commonly used in the three distinct geographic regions. IEC TR 61604 laid the groundwork
for the present document, which reflects the more global nature of the industry, compared to
the time when ferrite standards were evolving in different parts of the world. Manufacturers
tend to have more globally complete offerings of ring sizes than before, leading to a profusion
of different sizes.
The number of different ring sizes used in total is quite large, far in excess of the 82
commonly known standard sizes shown here, for a couple of reasons: ring-cores are relatively
inexpensive to build tooling for, nor does a new ring-core require an expensive new coil
former to be assembled, meaning that custom ring-cores are often commercially practical.
Ferrite rings, which lack a residual air gap, that E-cores and other shapes have at their mating
surfaces, exhibit directly the full magnetic performance possible in the ferrite material,
meaning that assembling precisely optimal new dimensions can give a significant advantage
to a designer that is optimizing for best possible performance.
4.2.3 Effective parameter values
The effective parameter values for the standard ring-cores are given in Table 3. For global
practicality and simplicity the effective parameters in this document are calculated from the
nominal dimensions, assuming
