Abstract
This paper presents the magnetic design of a high-frequency three-phase rotary transformer for Wound Rotor Synchronous Motors (WRSM). The traditional DC field excitation of the WRSM is highly challenging as it relies on the brushed connection. The brush/slipring-based connections need cooling, sealing and prone to wear and tear requiring regular maintenance. The proposed three-phase rotary transformer replaces the traditional brushed excitation by a high-power density polyphase wireless excitation. Furthermore, compared to a traditional single-phase rotary transformer, the proposed three-phase rotary transformer significantly enhances the power density, and reduces the eddy current losses and the output voltage ripples.
