In this paper is proposed a methodology to properly determine the leakage
and magnetizing inductance of a single-phase high-frequency coaxial
transformer. Both, leakage and magnetizing inductance equations are determined
considering the transformer dimensions, the ferromagnetic characteristics, and
the number of turners. Finite element methods (FEM) and a low scale prototype
are also used to validate the equations. The results show that the leakage and
magnetizing inductances can be precisely calculated with an error lower than 5%
and 3%, respectively.
