Abstract
This paper investigates the vibration and noise characteristics of high-frequency transformers (HFTs) with Litz wire windings. Despite the numerous advantages of high-frequency transformers, the analysis of vibration and acoustic noise in high-frequency transformers remains a challenging issue. A comprehensive analysis framework is developed to study these characteristics of HFT. First, an electromagnetic force model is established to analyze the high-frequency vibration mechanism. The magnetic properties of nanocrystalline cores are characterized through experimental measurements. Then, a multi-physics coupling model incorporating electromagnetic, mechanical, and acoustic fields is then constructed. To enhance computational efficiency, a simplified 2D multi-physics coupling model is proposed based on HFT load force analysis. The model’s effectiveness is verified through comparative studies under both sinusoidal and square wave excitations. Finally, experimental validation is performed using a specially designed high-frequency vibration and noise testing platform. The measured results demonstrate good agreement with the theoretical predictions, confirming the model’s accuracy. The research provides theoretical and data support for the optimization design of high-frequency transformers considering vibration and noise factors comprehensively.
