ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the kHz range of operation of high-frequency power transformers. It discusses the issues mentioned earlier and illustrates on a prototype high-frequency power transformer. Prediction of the parameters of high-frequency transformers from the material properties and physical dimensions has always been of interest. The frequency range employed in the power stage of modern power electronics covers a range from a few kHz to MHz. Transformers are an essential part of quite a number of power devices. They prove useful to isolate the mains from the power stage, to raise the voltage level, or to match impedance just to count some of the reasons for using them. Prediction of the parameters of high-frequency transformers from the material properties and physical dimensions has always been of interest. The high-voltage insulation thickness between the secondary winding layers gives rise to parasitic capacitance.
