A thermal model for high-frequency magnetic components

A new thermal model is introduced which is based on unique references, spec ifically suited to design and optimization of high-frequency high-power mag netic components. This thermal reference model is independent of shape, siz e, and orientation, so that a general set of data may be used to optimize t ransformer structure, The model, its limitations, and applications are desc ribed in detail. Unique measurement techniques are used for experimental ve rification and empirical sets of practical reference data, which are also p rovided.
