ABSTRACT:
There is provided an improvement in an inverter power supply of the type including an output transformer of the type having a high permeability magnetic core, input winding means for applying input current pulses to the core; a first output winding wound on the core; and a second output winding wound on the core. The power supply further includes first and second output terminals and output circuit means for connecting the individual output windings to the terminals in a fashion that opposite polarity output current pulses induced in the output windings by the input current pulses are applied across the terminals in a preselected first polarity. The improvement in this power supply comprises forming the output transformer with the two output windings having essentially the same number of turns and being wound in a selected direction so that current flow caused by freewheeling from an output inductor will flow simultaneously through the two output windings in a direction to cause opposite polarity magnetizing flux in the transformer core and providing means for mounting the two output windings of the transformer adjacent to each other on the core in a tight overlapping relationship with a coefficient of coupling greater than 0.950 and preferably greater than 0.980. The best results are obtained with the coefficient greater than 0.990.
