Fundamentals of Switching Power Supply Transformers

Publish Time: 2025-08-05     Origin: Site

Common high-frequency transformer types for switching power supplies include: EI, EE, ER, ERL, ETD, RM, PQ

Characteristics & Applications:

  • EI/EE Types:
    Wide application range, high operating frequency, broad voltage tolerance, high output power, excellent thermal stability.
    Applications: Program-controlled switch power supplies, LCD display power, high-power UPS inverters, computer PSUs, compact electronic devices.

  • ER/ERL/ETD Types:
    Low loss, high output power, wide frequency range, minimal temperature rise, stable performance.
    Applications: Telecom switches, TV/monitor PSUs, computer SMPS, precision instruments, DVD power.

  • RM/PQ Types:
    Low magnetic leakage, reduced losses, minimal distributed capacitance.
    Applications: Communication switch-mode power supplies.

EE13 vs. EE19 Transformers:

  1. Core Size: Same ferrite material, different dimensions

  2. Power Capacity:

    • EE19 has larger core cross-section (Ae) → higher wattage ratings

    • EE19 handles all EE13 power ranges + higher capacities

  3. Bobbin & Winding:

    • EE19 accommodates thicker wire → higher current tolerance
