HIGH FREQUENCY SNUBBER FOR TRANSFORMERS

摘要

The present invention relates to a transformer comprising a coil having an insulated wire formed into a plurality of turns defining a layer and a resistive element wrapped around the outer surface of the layer. The resistive element couples one of the plurality of turns with another of the plurality of turns. The resistive element not only increases the series capacitance of the transformer, but also increases the series conductance of the transformer circuit. The increase in the series resistance increases the dampening of the switching resonance.
