A new generation of lightweight high-performance, high efficiency, planar transformers for the renewable energy, hybrid automotive, aerospace, defence and mass passenger transit industries

作为提高能源效率的一部分，该研究项目的目标是为可再生能源、混合动力汽车、航空航天、国防和大众客运行业创造新一代轻质、高性能、高效率的平面变压器。平面变压器体积更小（平均尺寸的五分之一），重量更轻（平均重量的十分之一），效率更高（约为10%）。99%对92%)，比传统的“线绕式”变压器要好。特别是，除了在电力上更有效率外，由于它们提供了显著的重量优势，它们还使任何形式的运输都更有效率。因此，平面变压器在电动/混合动力汽车、公共交通、航空航天和军事应用中特别受欢迎。Himag Solutions是全球第二大平面变压器设计和制造商，仅在以色列和美国有两个竞争对手。我们在我们的平面变压器产品中使用铜和PCB技术的混合物，并制造主要组件，然后用于高频电源应用。其他应用包括：电动汽车电池充电、电信整流器、医疗设备、感应加热/充电和焊接设备。

As part of the drive to improve energy efficiency, the aim of this research project is to create a new generationof lightweight high-performance, high-efficiency, planar transformers for the renewable energy, hybridautomotive, aerospace, defence and mass passenger transit industries.Planar transformers are smaller (on average a fifth of the size), lighter (on average a tenth of the weight) andmore efficient (approx. 99% versus 92%) than conventional 'wire-wound' transformers. In particular, as wellas being electrically more efficient, they also enable any form of transportation to be yet more efficient due tothe significant weight advantage they provide. Accordingly planar transformers are especially sought after inelectric/hybrid vehicles, mass transit, aerospace and military applications.Himag Solutions is the world's second largest designer and manufacturer of planar transformers, with only tworeal competitors based in Israel and USA. We use a mixture of copper and PCB technology in our planartransformer products, and manufacture mainly components which are then used in high-frequency powersupply applications. Additional applications include: battery charging for electric vehicles, telecom rectifiers,medical equipment, induction heating/charging and welding equipment.
