Electric grid infrastructure and battery storage systems with overlaid text “Standardized Magnetics for Grid & Microgrids”

As the world shifts toward distributed energy and clean grid power, microgrids and renewable systems are under pressure to deliver lower losses, higher reliability, and faster deployment. Standardized inductors like the CPMLMAX™ family offer a solution engineered for scalability and performance in these critical applications.


Key Industry Trends & Data

  • Microgrids—capable of islanding and seamless grid reconnection—are increasingly deployed across campuses, utilities, and rural communities.

  • Renewable integration is accelerating: solar installations grew approximately 34% in 2023 alone.

  • High-current inductors are essential in power converter circuits to reduce energy losses, filter EMI, and maintain voltage stability—regardless of the topology used (AC, DC, hybrid).

  • Microgrid/EV charging hybrid systems have delivered efficiency gains exceeding 20% over traditional grid charging methods.


CPMLMAX Standard Inductors for Grid & Renewable Energy Systems

Pre‑characterized and production‑ready to reduce risk in fast‑moving DER and microgrid projects.


Low DC resistance and high saturation current enable better thermal performance and higher voltage control efficiency (up to 20% power savings).





Grid and Microgrid Use Cases

  • Inverters and converters in grid‑tied PV, wind, and hybrid energy storage systems

  • DC microgrids supporting campus resiliency, emergency operations, or remote integration


Built for Speed. Optimized for Scale.

Standardized inductors like CPMLMAX offer the ideal combination of reliability, performance, and speed needed in modern distributed energy systems. Upgrade your design cycle and energy efficiency from day one.
