Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A transformer of distributed-constant type is provided between an AC power supply with a frequency f and a load with a resistance value R, and includes: a first converter connected to the AC power supply and having a length of λ/4; and a second converter provided between an end of the first converter and the load, and having a length of λ/4, where a wavelength at the frequency f is λ. Such a transformer has a small size and a light weight, and does not need a coil, an iron core, and the like as used in a conventional transformer.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A transformer, of distributed-constant type, provided between an AC power supply with a frequency f and a load with a resistance value R, the transformer comprising: a first converter connected to the AC power supply and having a length of λ/4; and a second converter provided between an end of the first converter and the load, and having a length of λ/4, where a wavelength at the frequency f is λ. 2 . A transformer comprising: a circuit configured to perform switching; and the transformer according to claim 1 , interposed in the circuit. 3 . The transformer according to claim 1 , wherein the first converter and the second converter are each formed by a cable. 4 . The transformer according to claim 3 , wherein the cable is integrated with a power cable of a distribution line. 5 . The transformer according to claim 3 , wherein the frequency of the AC power supply is at least 1 MHz. 6 . The transformer according to claim 4 , wherein the frequency of the AC power supply is at least 1 MHz.
