About the Instructor:

Bruce Carsten has 42 years of design and development experience in high frequency and switch-mode magnetics, at power levels from 100 mW to 25 kW and frequencies from kHz to MHz.  The focus of this magnetics design seminar is on an intuitive but detailed understanding of how transformers and inductors work at high frequencies.  This understanding will aid the practicing design engineer in the synthesis of suitable power magnetics without extensive time spent in ‘cut and try’ design cycles, as opposed to heavily analytical approaches which often provide little practical guidance in design.  Formulas are provided for quantification of effects whenever possible, but math is largely kept to a minimum.

Who Should Attend:

The course is directed towards engineers who design or specify high frequency transformers and inductors for electronic power converters, but any power electronic designer or project manager will benefit from an improved understanding of their capabilities, characteristics and limitations.

All presentations and discussions will be in English.
