  • Patent number: 11328857
    Abstract: A high-voltage isolation withstand planar transformer and its high-voltage insulation method are provided. An insulating medium is provided between low-voltage windings and high-voltage windings. High-frequency current flows through the windings and generates a high-frequency alternating magnetic field to achieve isolated energy transmission. The low-voltage windings are connected to low-voltage side connection terminals, and the high-voltage windings are connected to high-voltage side connection terminals through a high-voltage winding leading-out foil. An annular hollow part of the low-voltage windings and the high-voltage windings is provided with a magnetic core. A stress grading method is provided to control the distribution of the electric field around the high-voltage winding leading-out foil. A voltage-balancing element group provides a voltage potential with a gradient change between the high-voltage winding leading-out foil and the low-voltage windings.

  • Patent number: 11088625
    Abstract: This invention proposes a three-phase CLLC bidirectional DC-DC converter, which includes a high-voltage side voltage dividing capacitor module, a three-phase half-bridge series module, a three-phase half-bridge parallel module, a three-phase primary/secondary side resonant module, a three-phase isolation transformer and a low-voltage side capacitor module. The high-voltage side voltage dividing capacitor module includes three voltage dividing capacitors. The three-phase half-bridge series/parallel module includes three bridge arms connected in series/parallel. Each bridge arm includes two switches connected in series. The three-phase primary/secondary side resonant module includes a, b, c three-phase primary/secondary side resonant tank. The three-phase isolation transformer includes three single-phase transformers a, b, and c.
