TY - CONF A1 - Gerstner, Michael A1 - Maerz, Martin A1 - Dietz, Armin T1 - Reconfigurable Transformer for Wide Input Voltage Range DC/DC Converters T2 - 2020 IEEE 9th International Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference (IPEMC2020-ECCE Asia) N2 - A transformer with variable primary windings for wide input voltage range DC/DC converters is presented. This transformer structure allows three states of the primary winding to be converted by only two individual windings. Based on the evaluations of a two-switch flyback converter, the potential of DC/DC converters with variable structures, the implementation of such a transformer and the advantages and disadvantages are shown and discussed. Real measurement results demonstrate the noticeable increase in efficiency and the reduction in component stress, having a positive influence on the operation of the converter and the component selection during the design process.
