Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0392204A2] In magnetic core materials for fault current protective switches, a high constancy of the magnetic properties is required over the entire application temperature range from -25 DEG C to +80 DEG C. In the case of the known magnetic core materials with a high nickel content of the permalloy type, this requires a special additional anneal. This can be dispensed with if the magnetic core material used is an iron-based alloy with an iron content of more than 60 atomic %, more than 50% of whose structure consists of fine crystalline grains having a grain size of less than 100 nm and which has a saturation induction of more than 1.1 T and also a remanence ratio of less than 0.7. <IMAGE>
