Size Comparison Between A 60 Hz. Based Transformer And A High Frequency Transformer. Note The Quarter Used For Reference When Comparing Size.

 

 

60 HERTZ BASED INVERTER TRANSFORMER

HIGH FREQUENCY INVERTER TRANSFORMER

 

Weight 29 Pounds

Transformer from a 2000 Watt 60 Hertz based inverter

Large heavy duty 60 Hertz based transformer made of relatively large diameter copper windings. Able to handle much higher levels of heat and mechanical stress.  High density copper mass provides a flywheel effect which provide for much higher surge capacities.

 

 

 

 

 

Weight 4.5 Ounces

One of six transformers from a 2000 Watt high frequency based inverter.

Small high frequency transformer.  Their lack of mass makes them unable to individually handle high surge currents. Several must be used in order to provide high enough surge capacity. The introduction of several transformers and their drive circuitry in parallel creates a much more complex circuit.
