Design procedure of a 14.4 kV, 100 kHz transformer with a high isolation voltage (115 kV)

In this paper, the design procedure of a 14.4 kV output voltage, 100 kHz transformer with an isolation voltage of 115 kV using Litz wire is presented. All design models, including a generalized magnetic model for the leakage and the loss calculations as well as an electrical model for the parasitic capacitance estimation for the transformer are derived and proven by measurements. For designing the insulation, a comprehensive design method based on an analytical maximum electrical field evaluation and an electrical field conform design is used. The resulting design is verified by long and short term partial discharge measurements on a prototype transformer.
