3D Electromagnetic and Thermal Behaviour Analysis of Magnetic Flux Leakage Transformers Using Finite Element Method

Abstract

This paper focuses on the thermal analysis of the magnetic flux leakage (MFL) transformer, which is a critical and expensive component in microwave power supply systems due to their high-frequency and high-power nature. The purpose of the analysis is to determine the temperature distribution of the transformer, including hot spots and temperature gradients, to improve its design and performance for safe and reliable operation. The finite element analysis (FEA) is used to simulate the thermal behavior of the transformer, considering various factors such as geometry, materials, and external conditions. This method allows for the prediction of the magnetic field distribution, current density, and heat generation within the transformer, and can be used to optimize its design and predict its performance under different conditions. The results of the simulation provide valuable information for improving the design and performance of MFL transformer in microwave power supply systems.
