Inductor losses include AC loss and DC loss. When designing an inductor in a power supply, engineers will calculate the AC loss and DC loss based on the detailed electrical conditions. When the AC loss and DC loss are nearly equal in a balanced state, engineers can get a reasonable design with the smallest total loss. CODACA offers design tools for easily predicting frequency effects. To estimate core loss, conductor loss, and temperature rise of our power inductors, please use the Power Inductor Loss Comparison.
