This document discusses the design of filter inductors, including constraints related to maximum flux density, inductance, and winding area. It presents a step-by-step procedure for determining core size, air gap length, and wire size to evaluate copper losses in the winding. Key points covered include constraints in inductor design, assumptions about geometry, calculating the core geometrical constant, and interpreting results to minimize copper losses.
