SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the dependence of the loss factor tan(δ) on the magnetic field strength (H) in MnZn ferrites, specifically using the formula Δ(tan(δ)) = ηB⋅ΔB⋅μe. Participants explore the applicability limits of this formula, particularly with ferrites exhibiting an initial permeability (μi) of approximately 2000. The key question raised is the maximum H value at which tan(δ) continues to increase linearly with B. A relevant ferrite datasheet from Cosmoferrites is provided for further reference.
