Moving to higher transition frequencies, lower supply voltages and smaller dimensions are, nowadays, general trends in the semiconductor industry. While operating at lower supply voltages results in a low-power design, smaller dimensions allow the use of a large number of transistors, a high transition frequency (fT) is accepted as an almighty-good, opening a way to a design of the amplifiers w...

High frequency models of large power transformers are required for analysis of transient interaction phenomena between transformers and the power system. Fast transient overvoltages may lead to transformer dielectric failures. Deeper understanding of the mechanisms may help to take actions against possible damages. This paper describes the simulation principle of transient interaction in matter...

High-frequency loss in transformer windings using stranded wire is analyzed. A complete loss prediction method is presented. The interstrand resistivity, which is an important parameter to determine the power loss, is measured experimentally. The analytical model is solved to get an optimal pitch, which specifies the degree of twisting that results in minimum loss. A transformer using a strande...

This paper presents the operation, analysis, design, simulation, and experimental results for a proposed Dual-Transformer DC-DC Resonant Converter (DTRC). A three-arm bridge is employed on input side an H-type output of DTRC, two bridges are connected with high-frequency (HF) transformers. By optimizing ratio k HF transformers, DTRC has lower boundary power losing zero-voltage switching (ZVS). ...

The traction transformer of the traction drive system of a high-speed train is one of the main equipments for energy conversion. The transformer loss will be increased by load harmonics and pantograph arcs at high speed. It is very important to predict losses for the improvement of traction transformer design. In this paper, a dynamic model of the pantograph-catenary system is established using...
