Easy-to-use CAD tools for litz-wire winding optimization

Abstract: Abstract-Existing advanced and powerful techniques for optimizing litz-wire winding designs are complex and usually require using multiple expensive software packages. A new CAD tool has been created to make advanced litz-wire design methods available to any designer through an easy-to-use web interface. The software performs two-dimensional field simulations and returns designs optimized considering cost and loss. It is shown that simple fullbobbin designs, compared to optimized choices, can result in much hi… Show more

“…Choosing a litz-wire design is difficult, because of the large design space of possible choices for number and diameter of strands, many of which have high cost, high loss, or both. Hence, careful optimization can be invaluable; the methods in [2], [3], [4] narrow the design space to a smaller set of alternatives, each of which provides the lowest possible loss at any given cost. Thus, in order to determine when and where stranded wire offers advantages, it is necessary to compare a range of optimized designs, and show that the stranded wire can provide lower cost at a given loss, or lower loss at a given cost.…”
