Simulation and project of high frequency transformer applied to a plasma plant

This paper describes the project of a transformer with PCB (Printed Circuit Board) windings (50 kW operating at the nominal frequency of 450 kHz) for using in a plasma inertization plant. The plant is composed basically of RF (Radio Frequency) power supply and a ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) torch. The transformer will make the coupling between the RF power supply and the ICP torch. To evaluate the performance of the transformer will be made simulations taking into account parameters such as temperature, magnetic flux density, waveform voltage and parasitic effects.
