Description
Following impulse excitation of the primary winding of a Tesla transformer, the secondary response contains a fundamental component plus higher-order mode. The paper will describe a winding technique that enables the higher-order modes to be suppressed, and so provide a transformer output with an improved spectral purity, that is better suited for use in many high-power applications than conventionally–wound transformers. Experimental results will demonstrate the benefits of the proposed technique.
