Transformers and Inductors for Power Electronics (eBook)

Based on the fundamentals of electromagnetics, this clear and
concise text explains basic and applied principles of transformer
and inductor design for power electronic applications. It details
both the theory and practice of inductors and transformers employed
to filter currents, store electromagnetic energy, provide physical
isolation between circuits, and perform stepping up and down of DC
and AC voltages.

The authors present a broad range of applications from modern
power conversion systems. They provide rigorous design guidelines
based on a robust methodology for inductor and transformer
design. They offer real design examples, informed by proven
and working field examples.

Key features include:

* emphasis on high frequency design, including optimisation of
the winding layout and treatment of non-sinusoidal waveforms

* a chapter on planar magnetic with analytical models and
descriptions of the processing technologies

* analysis of the role of variable inductors, and their
applications for power factor correction and solar power

* unique coverage on the measurements of inductance and
transformer capacitance, as well as tests for core losses at high
frequency

* worked examples in MATLAB, end-of-chapter problems, and an
accompanying website containing solutions, a full set of
instructors' presentations, and copies of all the
figures.

Covering the basics of the magnetic components of power
electronic converters, this book is a comprehensive reference for
students and professional engineers dealing with specialised
inductor and transformer design. It is especially useful for senior
undergraduate and graduate students in electrical engineering and
electrical energy systems, and engineers working with power
supplies and energy conversion systems who want to update their
knowledge on a field that has progressed considerably in recent
years.
