  • Abstract
    A new approach to high frequency power transformer design, called scant modelling is proposed. It is a specially engineered transformer model which allows interactive graphical optimization of a transformer form in the presence of derating factors influenced by heating due to conduction losses, eddy currents in windings and core losses
