What is a high-frequency transformer?

 

A high-frequency transformer is a type of transformer designed to operate efficiently at high frequencies, typically in the range of tens to hundreds of kilohertz or even megahertz. Traditional transformers, like those used in power distribution systems, operate at lower frequencies, usually 50 or 60 Hz.

High-frequency transformers are commonly used in various electronic devices such as power supplies, inverters, converters, and radio-frequency (RF) circuits. They are characterized by smaller sizes, reduced weight, and improved efficiency compared to their low-frequency counterparts. These transformers are often constructed with specialized materials and winding techniques to minimize energy losses and maintain high performance at elevated frequencies.

Applications of high-frequency transformers include switch-mode power supplies in computers and telecommunications equipment, inverters for solar power systems, induction heating systems, and RF amplifiers in wireless communication devices.
