The invention concerns a transformer (20) comprising a magnetic core (5), the magnetic core (5) comprising plural limbs (51, 52, 53) around each of which is wound a primary winding (P1, P2, P3), a first secondary winding (S1, S2, S3) and a tertiary winding (T1a-T1b, T2a-T2b, T3a-T3b or T1, T2, T3); the transformer (20) comprising said windings; the magnetic core (5) comprising a first half core (5a) and a second half core (5b) respectively comprising sub-limbs (51a, 52a, 53a, 51b, 52b, 53b) of the limbs (51, 52, 53); the transformer (20) being characterized in that: the air gaps (61) are respectively located either close to the first half core (5a), or close to the second half core (5b); some of the windings of the transformer (20) are Litz wires, and some of the windings are flat conductors.
A transformer (20) comprising a magnetic core (5), the magnetic core (5) comprising plural limbs (51, 52, 53) around each of which is wound a primary winding (P1, P2, P3), a first secondary winding (S1, S2, S3) and a tertiary winding (T1a-T1b, T2a-T2b, T3a-T3b or T1, T2, T3);
The transformer (20) according to the preceding claim, wherein:
The transformer (20) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein:
The transformer (20) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein for each of the limbs of the magnetic core (5), the corresponding first secondary winding is sandwiched between two sets of turns of the tertiary winding.
The transformer (20) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein:
The transformer (20) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the tertiary windings (T1a-T1b, T2a-T2b, T3a-T3b or T1, T2, T3) are respectively composed of two auxiliary windings (T1a, T1b;
The transformer of any preceding claim, the primary windings (P1, P2, P3) and the secondary windings (S1, S2, S3) being coupled in a way to form a first sub-transformer, the primary windings (P1, P2, P3) and tertiary windings (T1a-T1b, T2a-T2b, T3a-T3b or T1, T2, T3) being coupled in a way to form a second sub-transformer, the secondary windings (S1, S2, S3) and tertiary windings (T1a-T1b, T2a-T2b, T3a-T3b or T1, T2, T3) being coupled in a way to form a third sub-transformer;
An electrical system (1) for an electric vehicle or a hybrid electric vehicle, comprising a transformer (20) according to any one of the preceding claims.
The electrical system (1) according to the preceding claim, being connected to a power factor correction (PFC) converter and configured to charge and discharge a first battery (34) and a second battery (44) of the vehicle;
