Abstract :
The design technique for the converter is based on general formulation and solution of the governing electromagnetic field equations utilizing variational methods in conjunction with an inverse procedure to predict the geometries of transformer magnetic circuits. The technique is applicable for both low- and high-frequency designs, and is powerful in handling nonlinear magnetic materials
