Abstract

Currently, high frequency transformer for power MLIs is used for renewable energy interfacing applications. With the advancement in magnetic materials properties have led to the development of high frequency transformers for converters. Recently high frequency based magnetic material offers high saturation flux density and low core losses, used for designing of compact, light weight and efficient transformers. However, the designing of magnetic material is based on electro-magnetic concepts. So here, electro magnetic based software "ANSYS-Maxwell>sup/sup<" is used to design a high frequency transformer in 2-D geometry. The design methodology is illustrated to optimize it with minimum core losses, copper losses in the high frequency transformer.
