Abstract

A low leakage inductance, versatile RF transformer with multiple input/output voltage ratios. The transformer has many applications. For example, and not by way of limitation, the transformer can be used with switching power supplies, RF induction power supplies, and RF plasma power supplies. The efficiency of the transformer is on the order of 99% to 99.7%. These efficiencies have been measured at power levels of 3 kilowatts (KW) to 10 KW.
