What does the Flyback Converter need from the transformer ? Energy Storage Electrical Isolation Current Limiting Inductance Support Considerable DC Component
ac change on input causes Bac in core causes Hac DC on input causes HDC in core causes BDC
Calculation method of transformer design has a number of approximations that must be initially made Core Size ‘On Time’ of Circuit Minimum DC Input Working Flux Density Swing
Start Calculating Number of Turns on Primary Number of Turns on Main Secondary Readjust Earlier Approximations Number of Turns on Any OtherSecondary
Core Air Gap Affects Primary Inductance Affects Current Waveforms Affects Stress on Components Affects Flux Retention, Br Affects Working Range of Flux Density, Bac And Effect of DC generated Flux
Check Saturation By Measurement By Calculation Bac + BDC = Bmax < Bsat
In Conclusion I learned that there is a lot of variation in transformer design and the transformers intended application is more critical than I realized PExpert can be much faster for designing and trying variations Even with fancy programming tools or cookbook recipes you still have to understand what you are doing
