Electronic Step-down Transformer

An electronic step-down transformer is proposed. Conventional iron cored transformer is heavy and bulky and it has substantial amount of no load loss. On the other hand, electronic transformer can provide negligible no load loss, small size, and light weight. It consists of rectifier and PWM inverter. The output voltage is controlled by duty ratio. To confirm the validity of the proposed transform, simulation and experimental results are presented.
