Hi Bryan, I received a message from a BS'er today and he talked about core pricing from AEM as of ~ Nov. last year.
"I intend to order a larger toroidal core from AEM Cores in the near future as the cost is still pretty compelling based on prices quoted in Nov 2023 (about $14.50 ExGST per Kg of annealed CRGO Silicon Steel).
Here are some options I am considering:
1. 100mm (ID) * 200mm (OD) * 150mm (H) stacked strip core 5.6KVA - $384 ExGST + Delivery
2. 100mm (ID) * 215mm (OD) * 130mm (H) stacked strip core 5.6KVA - $402 ExGST + Delivery
3. 100mm (ID) * 240mm (OD) * 105mm (H) single strip core 5.4KVA - $427 ExGST + Delivery
4. 90mm (ID) * 230mm (OD) * 105mm (H) single strip core 5.4KVA - $402 ExGST + Delivery
A smaller core suitable for most homes with a lower power consumption is even more attractive:
1. 100mm (ID) * 210mm (OD) * 105mm (H) single strip core 3.3KVA - $306 ExGST + Delivery
2. 90mm (ID) * 200mm (OD) * 105mm (H) single strip core 3.3KVA - $286 ExGST + Delivery"
I think No1 from both lists are the best size and value, nice large central hole and considering new high quality material and god knows how many front fences we would have saved from recycling.
It seemed appropriate to post the pricing here so you are prepared for the winding costs on top.
