Solution Overview

Problem

Transformers with high isolation between the primary and secondary sides generate significant magnetic field interference, leading to increased ripple noises and electromagnetic interferences.

Innovation Solution

The transformer apparatus includes an iron core, coil units, and current transmission lines with insulation layers, where the insulation layers of adjacent current transmission lines are configured to touch each other, allowing the magnetic fields generated by currents in one line to counteract those in another, thereby reducing overall magnetic field interference.

1Reliability

If the wire length of the coil is elongated to achieve high isolation between primary and secondary sides, then isolation performance is improved, but magnetic field interference increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveisolation between primary and secondary sidesVSAvoidmagnetic field interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the principle of converting harm into benefit by using the magnetic field interference generated by the elongated coil wires as a beneficial counteracting force. Specifically, the current transmission lines are arranged such that their magnetic fields interfere with each other in a way that reduces the overall external magnetic field interference. The insulation layers touching each other creates a configuration where adjacent current-carrying conductors generate opposing magnetic fields that cancel each other out, thus converting the harmful magnetic field effect into a beneficial cancellation mechanism.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the merging principle by combining multiple current transmission lines into a tightly integrated configuration where insulation layers touch each other. This merging of conductors into a compact arrangement allows the magnetic fields to cancel each other effectively. By merging the transmission lines in this specific configuration, the patent achieves magnetic field reduction while the increased complexity is offset by the functional benefit of reduced electromagnetic interference.
