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努力的一部分，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、国防和公共客运行业创造新一代轻型、高性能、高效率的平面变压器。平面变压器更小(平均尺寸的五分之一)、更轻(平均重量的十分之一)和更高的效率(大约。99%比92%)，而不是传统的绕线式变压器。特别是，除了电子效率更高之外，由于它们提供了显著的重量优势，它们还使任何形式的交通工具都更加高效。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尤其受到追捧。Himag Solutions是世界第二大平面变压器设计和制造商，在以色列和美国只有两家竞争对手。我们在平面变压器产品中混合使用铜和印刷电路板技术，制造主要部件，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.
