Magnetic Design Considerations • Transformers • Used to step-up or step-down voltages • Inductors • Storage during energy transfer • Carries a DC current while supplying current • Need to avoid saturation of the core
Transformer Powers and Efficiency • Pt = apparent transformer power • Pi = transformer input power • Po = transformer output power • η = transformer efficiency
Analysis • Primary voltage V1 • V1 = KtfN1Φm (Kt = 4.44 for sinusoids) • Apparent Power of the transformer • Pt = V1I1 + V2I2 • For N1 = N2 = N and I1 = I2 = I • Pt = VI = KtfNΦmI • Pt = KtfBmAcNI • Bm = peak flux density • Ac = cross-sectional area of the flux path
Analysis (continued) • Number of Ampere-Turns • NI = KuWaJ • Ku = fill factor (between 4 and 6) • Wa = window area • Area Product • Ap = WaAc = Pt/(KtfBcKuJ) • Current Density • J = KjApx
Design of a TransformerExample 14.6 f = 60Hz V1 = 120V 60-Hz square-wave Vo = 40V, Io = 6.5A Assume η = 95% and window factor Ku = 0.4 Use E-core
Solution • Kt = 4 for a square wave • Output Power • Po = VoIo = (40V)(6.5A) = 260 W • Total Power • Pt = Po(1/η + 1) = 260(1/0.95 + 1) = 533.7 W • Check Table 14.1 for E-core • Kj = 366 x = -0.14 • Choose Bm = 1.4
Choosing the E-core • Choose a type core2-138EI • Ap = 223.39 cm4 • core weight, Wt = 3.901 kg • core area, Ac = 24.4 cm2 • mean length of a turn, lmt = 27.7 cm
