The main requirements are: high voltage capability, small size and weight. The HV, HF transformer is the main critical block of a high frequency power converter system. The transformer must have high electrical efficiency and in the proposed approach has to be optimized by the number of the cores. The transformer concept has been investigated analytically and through software simulations and experiments. This paper introduces the transformer topology and discusses the design procedure. Experimental measurements to predict core losses are also presented. The losses of epoxy coated nanocrystalline are compared to the losses in a new uncoated core.展开更多

The photovoltaic inverter works as current controlled voltage source inverter that provides a sinusoidal current to the AC grid. The inverter is insulated from the grid by a transformer. The system is discussed and modeled. Simulation results of this application are presented and experimental results validate this topology.展开更多
