Book description
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.
