Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0855723A2] A transformer in which a magnetic medium provides flux paths within the medium, two or more windings enclose the flux paths at separated locations along the paths, and an electrically conductive medium, arranged in the vicinity of the magnetic medium and the windings, defines a boundary within which flux emanation from the magnetic medium and the windings is confined and suppressed. In a transformer constructed in accordance with the present invention, both controlled values of leakage inductance and the benefits of separated windings can be achieved. The conductive medium can be configured to reduce the leakage inductance of a controlled-leakage inductance transformer (e.g. for use in a zero-current switching power converter), having separately located windings, by at least 25%, and can be configured to reduce the leakage inductance of a low-leakage inductance transformer (e.g. for use in a PWM power converter), having separately located windings, by at least 75%. <IMAGE>
