Förklaring
Ferrite magnets are non-conductive aferromagnetic ceramic compounds derived from iron oxides such as Haematite (Fe203) or Magnetite (Fe304) and other metal oxides such as Barium and Strontium.
Ferrite is a polycrystal, sintered material with high electrical resistivity. The high resistance of ferrite makes eddy current losses extremely low at high frequencies.
