The invention relates to a transformer construction comprising a plurality of transformer cores configured to share magnetic flux paths and, as a result, at least one of the cores comprises a post and an associated sidewall having an effective cross-sectional area which is less than that of the post. Such a construction may be employed in a power conditioning unit, for example, for a photovoltaic module, which is configured to operate the cores out of phase from each other. Also described is a transformer winding comprising a longitudinal spine having a first turn emanating from a first portion of the spine in a first transverse direction and a second turn emanating from a second portion of the spine in a second transverse direction, wherein the second transverse direction is opposite to the first transverse direction.
A transformer forming a power conditioning unit for providing ac power from a photovoltaic (PV) panel, the transformer comprising:
A transformer winding forming a power conditioning unit for providing ac power from a photovoltaic (PV) panel, the transformer winding comprising a longitudinal spine having a first turn emanating from a first portion of the spine in a first transverse direction and a second turn emanating from a second portion of the spine in a second transverse direction, the second transverse direction being opposite to the first transverse direction, wherein at least one of the first and second turns comprises one or more slits along its length.
