Research of Planar Transformer Properties Using Ansys Software

Abstract

Today switching power supplies are becoming increasingly common. The main problem faced by designers is the correct calculation of the pulse transformer. Often, the calculations do not take into account the influence of external factors, so the characteristics of the prototype often do not correspond to the calculated ones, which leads to additional material and labor costs for their correction. Software complexes for mathematical modeling allow obtaining the characteristics of the node closest to the real ones. One of the most famous is Ansys. This article assesses the possibility of modeling a pulse transformer. The object of the study was a planar transformer with a multi-channel power supply. The node calculated for ohmic losses and the output voltage corresponds to the required one. The final data compared with the data obtained from the real prototype, which will allow drawing a conclusion about the feasibility of such calculations in the design of such nodes in the future
