Abstract: A winding for a power transformer comprises a wire at least partially covered with a bonding material. The wire comprises a first winding formed into a first winding layer comprising a first plurality of turns positioned adjacently to each other, wherein the first plurality of turns are bonded together. The wire also comprises a second winding formed into a second winding layer from a first continuous wire portion extending from the first winding layer, the second winding layer comprising a second plurality of turns positioned adjacently together.

Abstract: A power transformer includes at least two first windings, at least two second windings interleaved with the at least two first windings, and a magnetic core. The at least two first windings and the at least two second windings are positioned adjacent the magnetic core. Each first winding includes a wire and a plurality of turns. One or more windings of the at least two first windings include a bonding material and at least two adjacent turns of said plurality of turns adhered to each other via the bonding material. Other example power transformers, methods of manufacturing power transformers, and methods of manufacturing windings are also disclosed.

Abstract: A cost effective integrated automotive solution for a charger transformer with minimized fringing flux and core grounding for reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI). The method provides an air gap filled with a mixture of an adhesive and ferrite powder that bonds the ferrite core sections together. In addition, the ground pin of the transformer is exposed through a groove in the pocket of the bobbin on which the core is mounted and an electrical contact is established between the exposed end of the ground pin and the core surface by means of a drop of epoxy.
