Abstract
The operating characteristics of parametric transformers and dc-ac converters with an orthogonal core greatly depend on the core shapes. Accordingly, in the optimal design for the applications, we used to clarify the quantitative relationship between the orthogonal-core shape and the operating characteristics of the application devices. In this paper, the application characteristics in terms of the orthogonal-core shape are discussed analytically with reference to a magnetic circuit model of the orthogonal core.
