Weight Algorithms for Adiabatic Transformers for Pulsed High Power Systems
Abstract
A transformer design computer program developed by Thermal Technology Laboratory, Inc. has been used in a mode whereby it automatically minimizes the weight of a transformer with any given set of operating parameters. Four classes of adiabatic transformers (wherein heat capacity is used to absorb heat generated) for use in pulsed power systems have been investigated in detail. Two of these were at power levels in the 10 to 50 MW range and the other two were in the 1 to 5 MW range. In each power range, three-phase sinusoidal and single-phase square wave transformers were analyzed in detail. The three phase transformers would be used in conjunction with alternators. The single phase units would be used in inverters.
