Research on a New Rotary Transformer Device

Abstract

Using the principle of electromagnetic induction, we designed the new rotary transformer device which secondary winding can rotate with the prime mover. The device not only achieves the purpose that provides synchronous generator with AC power of exciting side, but also can eliminate the impact of slip ring and carbon brushes fundamentally on the system. The test results of the prototype also show that the design of the rotary transformer described herein is possible.
