High-Power Planar Transformer for Next-Generation Conversion
15 kW Planar Magnetics for Demanding Systems
As power designs push for higher efficiency, greater power density, and tighter thermal margins, planar magnetics have become a key enabler in advanced conversion architectures. Payton’s 15 kW high‑frequency planar transformer is built to answer these demands, combining robust insulation, controlled parasitics, and repeatable performance for high-reliability applications.
Topology, Operating Range, and Core Performance
The transformer is optimized for a full‑bridge phase-shift topology with voltage‑doubler rectification, running from a 325-450 Vdc bus at 100 kHz. It delivers 15 kW of output power while maintaining low DC resistance, tightly controlled leakage inductance of around 1 µH, and high dielectric strength. Parameters that are essential for stable, high-voltage, high-power operation.
Planar construction ensures consistent electrical behavior from unit to unit, while carefully engineered copper geometry minimizes conduction losses and supports high efficiency. In conjunction with forced-air cooling, the design keeps hot-spot temperatures under control so that performance remains predictable even under sustained high‑current loading.
Design Advantages and Application Fit
This 15 kW planar transformer offers high power density in a compact footprint, tuned specifically for high-efficiency full-bridge converters at elevated switching frequencies. Low leakage inductance, reduced copper losses, and a controlled thermal profile help designers meet aggressive size and efficiency targets without compromising reliability.
Reinforced insulation and high dielectric strength support use in harsh or high-voltage environments, while the mechanically robust, production-ready design aligns with industrial manufacturing requirements. Payton’s planar solutions are adapted to sector-specific needs across industrial, renewable, and other high‑performance power conversion markets.
