ABSTRACT

The design of a transformer in power electronics has many aspects, most of which are discussed in different chapters of the book.

In this chapter, we discuss mainly specific issues concerning transformer design. Many properties of the transformer influence the design of the power electronic converter, such as magnetizing inductance, leakage inductance, voltage, current, frequency, power loss, insulation voltage, parasitic capacitance, and so on. Parasitic properties often play an important role in the function of the transformer in power electronic converters.
