Resumen:
Soft magnetic materials are key to the efficient operation of the next generation power electronics and electrical machines (motors and generators). Many new materials have been introduced since Michael Faraday´s discovery of magnetic induction, when iron was the only option. However, as wide band gap (WBG) semiconductor devices become more common in both power electronics and motor controllers, there is an urgent need to further improve soft magnetic materials. These improvements will be necessary to realize the full potential in efficiency, size, weight, and power (SWaP) of high frequency power electronics and high rotational speed electrical machines. Here, we will provide an introduction to the field of soft magnetic materials and their implementation in power electronics and electrical machines. Additionally, we will review the most promising choices available today and describe emerging approaches to create even better soft magnetic materials.
