TECHNICAL EXPERTISE
HXMT Planar Transformer for
High-Efficiency Solar Array
Inverter
20
Large Electromagnet (Square Wire
on Copper Coil Form)

21. • HXMT optimizes coil constructions
• Yields optimal configuration to achieve
desired functions
• Optimization reduces lost energy within coil
• Transformers operate cooler & more
efficiently
• Gives size, weight and cost reduction
• Is based on loss and energy solutions of the
diffusion equation for generalized boundary
conditions
• Finds hidden value in magnetic components
