Abstract

For pt.I see ibid., vol.15, no.5, p.730-9 (1992). In pt.I the governing equations, source terms, boundary conditions, and material property relationships for a high-frequency transformer model were derived. In the present work, a solution method for this model based on the finite element technique is developed and validated with both numerical comparisons and experimental data
