ABSTRACT
The conversion process in power electronics requires the use of transformers, and components which frequently are the heaviest and bulkiest items in the conversion circuits. They also have a significant effect
upon the overall performance and efficiency of the system. Accordingly, the design of such transformers
has an important influence on overall system weight, on the power conversion efficiency and cost. Because
of the interdependence and interaction of parameters, judicious tradeoffs are necessary to achieve design optimization.
