For the three phase CLLC DC/DC converter, it can run at high switching frequency so that the resonant inductors and transformers of three phases can be integrated into one six-leg core and built with PCB windings with the benefits from SiC devices as shown in the structure 1 of Fig.2. However, the core loss on the plate is still large due to the flux on the plate is not evenly distributed. A novel core structure based on the six-leg integrated transformer will be proposed to reduce the core loss of core plate by adopting additional legs without sacrificing the footprint of core as shown in the structure 2 of Fig. 2. Detailed analysis of the new core structure and comparison will be shown in the final paper. The peak efficiency of the proposed converter can be expected to 98.59% and its power density is up to 180W/in3. The detailed experiment results will be provided in the full paper.
