Abstract:

Emphasis on this program was on the development of high voltage, high power, high frequency, low specific weight, inverter transformers. A primary intent was the reduction of specific weight without sacrifice of either electrical performance or reliability. Research was conducted into the characteristics of magnetic and dielectric materials, improved magnetic circuit modeling, and application of advanced heat transfer techniques. Computer-aided design methods were utilized and specialized programs were developed to permit extensive manipulation of multiple design parameters.
