  LLC Resonant Converters are widely used for DC-DC Converters and a resonant inductance embedded transformer is a critical component as it provides the required isolation between primary and secondary side and takes a large portion of the total volume of the whole converter. This paper presents a comprehensive design procedure of a 100 kHz, medium voltage trans-former for a 30 kW Serial Half Bridge Converter with 45 kW overload condition. The design method of a high-power high frequency integrated transformer and inductor with perfect current sharing is presented in this paper.

  The transformer structure is as shown in in Figure 2. Fig. 2 gives some cases with different leakage inductance and current sharing waveform. The leakage inductance between the winding on the same leg is more important for current sharing. 13% difference on leakage inductance between Lk_pri1sec2 and Lk_pri2sec1 only causes 2% current difference. But 30% difference between Lk_pri1sec1 and Lk_pri2sec2 causes 31% current difference. However, the structure in Fig. 2(b) can be avoided using bobbin and Fig. 2(c) is not mechanical stable, so both cases can be avoided.
