Design resonant transformer

Abstract

This project aims to design a resonant transformer. A resonant transformer is basically an electromagnetic static equipment based on the principle of Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction that can be generate high alternating voltages and current. Due to resonance, a very high voltage can develop across the secondary, until it is limited by some process such as electrical breakdown. Based on knowledge of basic principle of transformer, that rated capacity of resonant transformer is design with 2.0KVA. The winding of transformer is 182 primary turns and 3636 secondary turns respectively. It designed as 100V of primary voltage and 2000V of secondary voltage. The resonant coil, usually the secondary, acts as an inductor, and are connected in series with a capacitor. When the primary coil is driven by a periodic source of alternating current, such as a square or wave at the resonant frequency, each pulse of current helps to build up an oscillation in the secondary coil.
