A quantitative relationship between the three parameters - minimum total reactor mass, maximum output power, and switching frequency - is extracted from these analytical solutions. The validity of the closed-form solution is verified by a numerical minimization procedure. A computer-aided design procedure using commercially available toroidal cores and magnet wires is also used to examine how the results from practical designs follow the prediction of the analytical solutions.","PeriodicalId":165849,"journal":{"name":"1981 IEEE Power Electronics Specialists Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122555217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
