As AI data centers transition toward 800 VDC architectures, magnetics define performance across voltage layers — from standardized low-voltage DC-DC conversion to emerging MVDC and SST-aligned interfaces that reshape system-level efficiency and density. Medium-voltage magnetics play an important role in this evolution as a critical control layer with within these emerging data center architectures, underscores CorePower Magnetics, a U.S.-based manufacturer of high-efficiency magnetic components for medium-frequency and DC power conversion.
These architectures require compact, thermally stable, high-efficiency magnetics for rectification, DC-DC conversion, and energy storage interfaces at medium frequency, notes the company. While 800 VDC distribution often focuses on rack-level conversion, long-term scalability increasingly depends on medium-voltage integration. MVDC interfaces and SST-based architectures reduce conversion stages, improve thermal performance, and enable higher power density across the data center.
Designing with magnetics up front strengthens 800 VDC architectures, notes the company. Inductors and transformers shape key elements of 800 VDC performance—from thermal behavior to switching limits and overall efficiency. Engaging magnetics early helps align topology, layout, and system goals, creating a smoother development path and more predictable results.
CorePower’s medium-frequency, medium-voltage magnetics are engineered to operate at this control layer — enabling efficient MV ↔ 800 VDC conversion in next-generation AI data centers. Its portfolio spans standardized, production-ready inductors, engineered-to-order transformers and inductors, and emerging standardized medium-voltage magnetics designed to support every stage of 800 VDC deployment — from hybrid AC/DC retrofits to MVDC-native and SST-aligned architectures. A detailed view of its product alignment across retrofit, hybrid and full-DC architectures is explained in the company’s 800 VDC Magnetics Roadmap, available on its website.
