SPICE-Aided Compact Electrothermal Model of Impulse Transformers
Source abstract
Abstract
This article proposes a new form of compact electrothermal model of impulse transformers. The proposed model is dedicated for use with SPICE and it is formulated in the network form. It simultaneously takes into account electrical, thermal, and magnetic phenomena occurring in the considered device. Nonlinearity of the core magnetization characteristics and nonlinearity of the heat transfer efficiency are taken into account in this model. The form of the proposed model is shown. Equations of the presented model are given. Experimental verification of the proposed model is performed for selected impulse transformers. Selected results of the performed investigations are presented.
