Abstract:
This paper introduces a novel transformer design to address the voltage imbalance issue for an LLC converter with multiple transformers in series to support a wide output voltage range. The proposed transformer design is implemented on a digital controlled SiC-based 60kW prototype with a switching frequency of 125kHz-250kHz. Identical voltage balance is demonstrated in a three phase LLC converter with 200Vdc-1000Vdc wide output voltage range and exceeding 98.5% in peak efficiency for EV fast charger.
