Abstract

This integrated magnetic (IM) transformer is proposed for a phase shifted full bridge (PSFB) converter with zero voltage switching (ZVS). In a new IM transformer, the transformer is located on the center leg of E-core and the output inductor is wound on two outer legs. The proposed circuit is analyzed electrically and magnetically. An E-core is redesigned and implemented. The proposed IM transformer is experimentally compared with the conventional one through a 1.2kW prototype converter.
