2 Magnetic Component Design Responsibility of Circuit Designer Ratings for inductors and transformers in power electronic circuits vary too much for commercial vendors to stock full range of standard parts. Core (double E) Instead only magnetic cores are available in a wide range of sizes, geometries, and materials as standard parts. Circuit designer must design the inductor/transformer for the particular application. Design consists of: 1. Selecting appropriate core material, geometry, and size. Selecting appropriate copper winding parameters: wire type, size, and number of turns. Winding Bobbin Assembled core and winding Magnetics -

5 Current/Flu Density Versus Core Size Larger electrical ratings require larger current I and larger flu density B. B s B Core losses (hysteresis, eddy currents) increase as B (or greater) Winding (ohmic) losses increase as I and are accentuated at high frequencies (skin effect, proimity effect) Minor hystersis loop H To control component temperature, surface area of component and thus size of component must be increased to reject increased heat to ambient. At constant winding current density J and core flu density B, heat generation increases with volume V but surface area only increases as V /3. core - B s Maimum J and B must be reduced as electrical ratings increase. Flu density B must be < B s g Higher electrical ratings larger total flu larger component size Flu leakage, nonuniform flu distribution complicate design fringing flu Magnetics - 5
6 Magnetic Component Design Problem Challenge - conversion of component operating specs in converter circuit into component design parameters. Goal - simple, easy-to-use procedure that produces component design specs that result in an acceptable design having a minimum size, weight, and cost. Design procedure outputs. Core geometry and material. Core size (A core, A w ) Number of turns in windings. Conductor type and area A cu. Air gap size (if needed). Inductor electrical (e.g.converter circuit) specifications.

7 Core Shapes and Sizes Magnetic cores available in a wide variety of sizes and shapes. Ferrite cores available as U, E, and I shapes as well as pot cores and toroids. Laminated (conducting) materials available in E, U, and I shapes as well as tape wound toroids and C-shapes. Open geometries such as E-core make for easier fabrication but more stray flu and hence potentially more severe EMI problems. Closed geometries such as pot cores make for more difficult fabrication but much less stray flu and hence EMI problems. Bobbin or coil former provided with most cores. Dimensions of core are optimized by the manufacturer so that for a given rating (i.e. stored magnetic energy for an inductor or V-I rating for a transformer), the volume or weight of the core plus winding is minimized or the total cost is minimized. insulating layer magnetic steel lamination Larger ratings require larger cores and windings. Optimization requires eperience and computerized optimization algorithm. Vendors usually are in much better position to do the optimization than the core user. Magnetics - 7

12 Core Material Performance Factor Volt-amp (V-A) rating of transformers proportional to f B ac Core materials have different allowable values of B ac at a specific frequency. B ac limted by allowable P m,sp. Most desirable material is one with largest B ac. Choosing best material aided by defining an emperical performance factor PF = f B ac. Plots of PF versus frequency for a specified value of P m,sp permit rapid selection of best material for an application.

16 Power Dissipation in Windings Average power per unit volume of copper dissipated in copper winding = P cu,sp = ρ cu (J rms ) where J rms = I rms /A cu and ρ cu = copper resistivity. bobbin airgap Winding conductor Average power dissipated per unit volume of winding = P w,sp = k cu ρ cu (J rms ) ; V cu = k cu V w where V cu = total volume of copper in the winding and V w = total volume of the winding. Copper fill factor k cu = N A cu A w < 1 N = number of turns; A cu = cross-sectional area of copper conductor from which winding is made; A w = b w l w = area of winding window. k cu = 0.3 for Leitz wire; k cu = 0.6 for round conductors; k cu for rectangular conductors. h w A w > g b w Double-E core eample k cu < 1 because: Insulation on wire to avoid shorting out adjacent turns in winding. Geometric restrictions. (e.g. tight-packed circles cannot cover 100% of a square area.) g Magnetics - 16
17 Eddy Currents Increase Winding Losses AC currents in conductors generate ac magnetic fields which in turn generate eddy currents that cause a nonuniform current density in the conductor. Effective resistance of conductor increased over dc value. P w,sp > k cu ρ cu (J rms ) if conductor dimensions greater than a skin depth. J(r) J = ep({r - a}/δ) o δ = skin depth = ωµσ ω = π f, f = frequency of ac current µ = magnetic permeability of conductor; µ = µ o for nonmagnetic conductors. σ = conductivity of conductor material.

Each conductor in bundle has a diameter less than a skin depth. a 0 a J(t) Twisting of paralleled wires causes effects of intercepted flu to be canceled out between adjacent twists of the conductors. Hence little if any eddy currents. Magnetics - 17 r

Optimum conductor size P w = { R dc + R ec } [I rms ] = R ac [I rms ] Resistance R dc R ac = F R R dc = [1 + R ec /R dc ] R dc R ec Minimum winding loss at optimum conductor size. P w = 1.5 P dc P ec = 0.5 P dc High frequencies require small conductor sizes minimize loss. d opt δ d = conductor diameter or thickness P dc kept small by putting may small-size conductors in parallel using Litz wire or thin but wide foil conductors.

20 Thermal Considerations in Magnetic Components Losses (winding and core) raise core temperature. Common design practice to limit maimum interior temperature to C. Core losses (at constant flu density) increase with temperature increases above 100 C Saturation flu density B s decreases with temp. Increases Nearby components such as power semiconductor devices, integrated circuits, capacitors have similar limits. Temperature limitations in copper windings Copper resistivity increases with temperature increases. Thus losses, at constant current density increase with temperature. Reliability of insulating materials degrade with temperature increases. Surface temperature of component nearly equal to interior temperature. Minimal temperature gradient between interior and eterior surface. Power dissipated uniformly in component volume. Large cross-sectional area and short path lengths to surface of components. Core and winding materials have large thermal conductivity.. Thermal resistance (surface to ambient) of magnetic component determines its temperature. P sp = T s - T a R θsa (V w + V c ) ; R θsa = h A s h = convective heat transfer coefficient = 10 C-m /W A s = surface area of inductor (core + winding). Estimate using core dimensions and simple geometric considerations. Uncertain accuracy in h and other heat transfer parameters do not justify more accurate thermal modeling of inductor. Magnetics - 0
21 Scaling of Core Flu Density and Winding Current Density Power per unit volume, P sp, dissipated in magnetic component is P sp = k 1 /a ; k 1 = constant and a = core scaling dimension. J rms = P sp k cu r cu = k 1 k cu a ; k = constant P w,sp V w + P m,sp V m = T s - T a R θsa : T a = ambient temperature and R θsa = surface-to-ambient thermal resistance of component. P m,sp = P sp = k f b [B ac ] d ; Hence B ac = d Psp kf b = k 3 d f b a where k 3 = constant For optimal design P w,sp = P c,sp = P sp : Hence P sp = T s - T a R θsa (V w + V c ) R θsa proportional to a and (V w + V c ) Plots of J rms, B ac, and P sp versus core size (scale factor a) for a specific core material, geometry, frequency, and T s - T a value very useful for picking appropriate core size and winding conductor size. proportional to a 3 Magnetics - 1

Goal: Minimize inductor size, weight, and cost. Magnetics - 5
26 Core Database - Basic Inductor Design Tool Interactive core database (spreadsheet-based) key to a single pass inductor design procedure. User enters input specifications from converter design requirements. Type of conductor for windings (round wire, Leitz wire, or rectangular wire or foil) must be made so that copper fill factor k cu is known. Spreadsheet calculates capability of all cores in database and displays smallest size core of each type that meets stored energy specification. Also can be designed to calculate (and display as desired) design output parameters including J rms, B, A cu, N, and air-gap length. Multiple iterations of core material and winding conductor choices can be quickly done to aid in selection of most appropriate inductor design. Information on all core types, sizes, and materials must be stored on spreadsheet. Info includes dimensions, A w, A core, surface area of assembled inductor, and loss data for all materials of interest. Pre-stored information combined with user inputs to produce performance data for each core in spreadsheet. Sample of partial output shown below.

27 Details of Interactive Inductor Core Database Calculations User inputs: L, I, I rms, I dc, f, T s, T a, and k cu Stored information (static, independent of converter requirements) Core dimensions, A w, A core, V c, V w, surface area, mean turn length, mean magnetic path length, etc. Quantitative core loss formulas for all materials of interest including approimate temperature dependence. Calculation of core capabilities (stored energy value) 1. Compute converter-required stored energy value: L I I rms.. Compute allowable specific power dissipation P sp = [T s - T a ] /{ R θsa [V c + V w ]}. R θsa = h/a s or calculated interactively using input temperatures and formulas for convective and radiative heat transfer from Heat Sink chapter. 3. Compute allowable flu density P sp = k f b [B ac ] d and current density P sp = k cu ρ cu {J rms }. 4. Compute core capabilities k cu A w A core B J rms Calculation of inductor design parameters. 1. Area of winding conductor A cu = I / J rms.. Calculate skin depth δ in winding. If A cu > δ at the operating frequency, then single round conductor cannot be used for winding. Construct winding using Leitz wire, thin foils, or paralleled small dia. ( δ) round wires. Magnetics - 7
28 Details of Interactive Core Database Calculations (cont.) 3. Calculate number turns of N in winding: N = k cu A w / A cu. 4. Calculate air-gap length L g. Air-gap length determined on basis that when inductor current equals peak value I, flu density equals peak value B. Formulas for air-gap length different for different core types. Eample for double-e core given in net slide. 5. Calculate maimum inductance L ma that core can support. L ma = N A core B peak / I peak. If L ma > required L value, reduce L ma by removing winding turns. Save on copper costs, weight, and volume. P w can be kept constant by increasing P w,sp Keep flu density B peak constant by adjusting gap length L g. 6. Alternative L ma reduction procedure, increasing the value of L g, keeping everything else constant, is a poor approach. Would not reduce copper weight and volume and thus achieve cost savings. Full capability of core would not be utilized. Magnetics - 8
29 Setting Double-E Core Air-gap Length Set total airgap length L g so that B peak generated at the peak current I peak. L g = N g g ; N g = number of distributed gaps each of length g. Distributed gaps used to minimize amount of flu fringing into winding and thus causing additional eddy current losses. R m = N I peak A c B peak = R m,core + R m,gap R m,gap = L g µ o A g g L g = N I peak µ o A g A c B peak For a double-e core, A g = (a + L g N g ) (d + L g N g ) fringing flu L g L g A g ad + (a + d) ; << a N g N g Insertion of epression for A g (L g ) into epression for L g (A g ) and solving for L g yields d g A core g L g = a B peak A c d µ o N I peak - a + d d N g a Above epression for L g only valid for double-e core, but similar epressions can be developed for other core shapes.

Leakage inductance caused by magnetic flu which does not completely link primary and secondary windings.

Equation relates input specifications (left-hand side) to core and winding parameters (right-hand side). Desired design procedure will consist of a systematic, single-pass method of selecting k cu, A core, A w, J rms, and B ac. Magnetics - 39
40 Core Database - Basic Transformer Design Tool Interactive core database (spreadsheet-based) key to a single pass tramsformer design procedure. User enters input specifications from converter design requirements. Type of conductor for windings (round wire, Leitz wire, or rectangular wire or foil) must be made so that copper fill factor k cu is known. Spreadsheet calculates capability of all cores in database and displays smallest size core of each type that meets V- I specification. Also can be designed to calculate (and display as desired) design output parameters including J rms, B, A cu,pri, A cu,sec, N pri, N sec, and leakage inductance.. Multiple iterations of core material and winding conductor choices can be quickly done to aid in selection of most appropriate tranformer design. Information on all core types, sizes, and materials must be stored on spreadsheet. Info includes dimensions, A w, A core, surface area of assembled transformer, and loss data for all materials of interest. Pre-stored information combined with user inputs to produce performance data for each core in spreadsheet. Sample of partial output shown below.

Calculation of core capabilities 1. Compute converter-required stored energy value: S = V pri I pri. Compute allowable specific power dissipation P sp = [T s - T a ] /{ R θsa [V c + V w ]}. R θsa = h/a s or calculated interactively using input temperatures and formulas for convective and radiative heat transfer from Heat Sink chapter. 3.

42 Details of Interactive Transformer Core Database Calculations (cont.) 3. Calculate winding areas assuming eddy current/proimity effect is important Only solid conductors, round wires or rectangular wires (foils), used.j rms = [{P sp R dc }/{R ac k cu r cu }] 1/ Conductor dimensions must simultaneously satisfy area requirements and requirements of normalized power dissipation versus normalized conductor dimensions. May require change in choice of conductor shape. Most likely will require choice of foils (rectangular shapes). Several iterations may be needed to find proper combinations of dimensions, number of turns per layer, and number of layers and sections. Best illustrated by a specific design eample. 4. Estimate leakage inductance L leak = {µ o {N pri } l w b w }/ {3 p h w } 5. Estimate S ma = 4.4 k cu f A core A w J rms B ac 6. If S ma > S = V pri I pri reduce S ma and save on copper cost, weight, and volume. If N pri w A c B ac > V pri, reduce S ma by reducing N pri and N sec. If J rms A cu, pri > I rms, reduce A cu,pri and A cu, sec. If S > S ma by only a moderate amount (10-0%) and smaller than S ma of net core size, increase S ma of present core size. Increase I rms (and thus winding power dissipation) as needed.temperature T s will increase a modest amount above design limit, but may be preferable to going to larger core size. Magnetics - 4

A cu,sec F l h w Normalized secondary conductor height φ = F l h sec d = 0.9 (0.6 mm) (0.4 mm) = 1 However a si layer section has an optimum φ = 0.6. A two layer section has an optimum φ = 1. nd iteration needed. nd iteration - sectionalize the windings. Use a secondary of 3 sections, each having two layers, of height h sec = 0.6 mm. Secondary must have single turn per layer. Two turns per layer would require h sec = 0.5 mm and thus φ =. Eamination of normalized power dissipation curves shows no optimum φ =. Magnetics - 45

Two interior primary sections have two layers and optimum value of φ. Two outer sections have one layer each and φ not optimum, but only results in slight increase in loss above the minimum. Leakage inductance L leak = (4π10-9 )(4) (8)(0.7)(1) (3)(6) () = 0. µh Sectionalizing increases capacitance between windings and thus lowers the transformer self-resonant frequency. S ma = 1644 watts Rated value of S = 100 watts only marginally smaller than S ma. Little to be gained in reducing S ma to S unless a large number of transformer of this design are to be fabricated.
