Mutual inductance
The mutual inductance matrix must be semi-positive definite and cannot be arbitrary matrix in order to satisfy physics laws. If the determinant is greater than zero, the magnetic field will absorb some energy until it is saturated and then transfers the input energy from the primary coil to the secondary coil. If the determinant is zero, the input energy will immediately be delivered from the primary coil to the secondary coil. The matrix of the symmetric architecture of the three inductors in a high frequency transformer, and being scalars, is:
With row column operations:
Therefore and to make this mutual inductance matrix positive. The ideal will be and to be the mutual inductance matrix
Question
I felt the electronic model of a high frequency transformer troublesome. When the MOSFET1 and MOSFET2 respectively change from ON to OFF and OFF to ON, it seems saying the current from the battery becomes the current through the ON MOSFET instantly, then the infinite inductive voltage at both the inductors in the transformer's front side (the side connected to the battery). The infinite voltage is not considered in the voltage drop equations about these two circuits. Beside, when the circuit is open, there is still some current to form the strong electric field between the G and S gates due to the inductive current. To accommodate this, I here have a thorough model to see the whole picture.
I saw a Youtube about the manufacturing of high frequency transformers for inverters. There are two inductors at the front side and one inductor at the rear end. The video seems saying there are mutual inductance among all the three inductors.
The electronic parts are:
- V : battery with voltage; V.P is the positive pole, V.N is the negative pole
- L0, L1, L2, K : inductor with inductance , L , L , K. L1 and K have mutual inductance. L2 and K have mutual inductance. L1 and L2 have mutual inductance. The current direction through K is defined to be such that it is increasing when current through L1 is increasing
- C : capacitor with capacitance
- M1, M2: MOSFET. When it is ON, there is a tiny resistance to model the tiny resistance of MOSFET. When it is off, there is a big resistance to model the open circuit and the temporarily inductive current. The two MOSFET operate four stages of duty ratio . Stage 1, M1 is ON and M2 is OFF, duty ratio . Stage 2, M1 is OFF and M2 is OFF, duty ratio . Stage 3, M1 is OFF and M2 is ON, duty ratio . Stage 4, M1 is OFF and M2 is OFF, duty ratio . Let be the period of the MOSFET.
- R : a resistor with resistance represents a load at the rear end of the high frequency transformer.
All circuits are described in the seven contact points:
[V.P, L0,1]
[L0.2, C.1, L1.1, L2.1]
[L1,2, M1.1]
[L2.2, M2.1]
[V.N, C.2, M1.2, M2.2]
[K.1, R.1]
[K.2, R.2]

A benefit of this approach is that, as no pure "open" and "close" a universal math treatment of all variables are done in one go; for Stage 3, any math corollary is the formula replacing and with and ; for Stage 2 and stage 4, any math corollary is the formula replacing and with and .
To find the correct inductance matrix, try simple circuit without and
Name this formula F0.
The so-called naive math is that for stage 1 and stage 3, is 0 and is infinite so the system is
and the system becomes:
which is easier to solve. But the naive approach cannot address well about the inductance of sudden change of currents when ON becomes OFF and the current looks like discontinuous mathematically while it is continuous in reality.
Manipulate F0, the system becomes
Name this formula F4. By electricity academic, . Being ideal means , say, , so the 3rd row reads:
Name this formula F1. Therefore, the system is actually only and system introduced by the change of variables:
Aka
Name this formula F2. The in every entry's denominator demonstrates will have stronger driving force. Prettier:
So the system will drive to the steady state such that which is, as expected,
Interchange of and leads to the other steady state. The alternating On-OFF causes move in-between and does not settle at any static numbers. Unless, the frequency is so high that the resistance leads to zero homogeneous part by any "left over" inductance, also agreeing with the linear approximate which means super short aka super high frequency.
When swap and , the system has a strong pull and push for and . Difficult to describe the system when is infinite, because the 2-1 entry explodes:
A change of variable to focus on total current and voltage in the rear end:
Aka
F2 becomes:
Name this formula F3. Pretty:
The 4-stages average matrix are:
and
So the steady state in high frequency of is and according to F1; being alternating, as the approximate steady state is reasonable. can be as low as aka circuit 1 and circuit 2 are open, or as high as aka one of curcuit 1 and circuit 2 is closed.
Specialize when B goes to infinite
By F2, the 2-2 entry will explode so it shall be described by temporarily to see the picture:
Then it becomes:
As is bounded (actualy, it goes to zero), is 0 as goes infinite
Summary
By F4, if not ideal inductance matrix, it becomes, :
Name this formula F5. Note the zero denominator possibility suggests the condition of ideal inductance matrix or . In the general situations of not ideal, the steady state for each stage 1, 2, 3, 4 is . When the linear system of each stage converges, the overall system convergs too. See 直流電路的最終電壓電流. Suppose the over all 4 stages, denote the cycled steady state , the linear system is where 𝒜 and ℬ have two additional parameters and and the seady state is . Different leads to different and . When , it corresponds to a system with , aka no load, the steady state is and . The supper-short period leads the steady state answer to their linear average approximate; even with tiny resistance and tine inductance, a super short period aka super high frequency leads to super high resistance and this is why linear approximation reports in this case. The caveat is that when some entry in the matrix explode, like here , the can not be thought as infinite small and the linear approximate solution comes as the result. Experiments with Mathematica™ about this confirm the observation. The experiments show that the number can be far away from if specific and are arranged.
For linear approximation, average matrix are:
and
So
which is very small irrelevant of . All are somewhat around and away from, as there are exploding entries in the matrix of the four stages dismiss the thinking of infinite small .

With addition L0 inductor and capacitor. Let be the current going through L0.
Name this formula F6
Symbolically with polynomial of up to 3 degree, the formula, whose constant term is , is still quite different from the numerical results. The reason is that the is supposed to be so small that even is not significant. There needs some way to handle the calculation of where some row or column of has exploding rows or columns, aka, the terms of the power series need to be more; hardly get that formula.
Beyond that. If the MOSFET period is not that short, the steady states are reached at "different speed" based on their diagonal entry value in the matrix. Using stage 1 for example. By F6, the most negative diagonal is 4-4 entry, followed by 5-5 entry, followed by 3-3 entry, it means will be settled down first, then then . The harmonic frequency is low by design. So, by the length of a MOSFET period, three cases:
==== case 1 ====
The period is such that "too long for but not too long for other variables", then the at the time can be calculated by set the 4th row's derivative zero in the linear equation:
which as expected, is almost zero already at the time.
==== case 2 ====
The period is such that "too long for and but not too long for other variables", then the state can be calculated by set the 4th and 5th row's derivative zero and results in the linear equation:
which solved to
As one can see, simply means the voltage transformer across the loop1 inductor primary side, aka , raised by ratio to the secondary side at the time and consumed in loop3. This is the period that the inverter's design targets. Plug in the formula for and , the system now at the time becomes:
Then, after some pivotsystem and swapsystem to replace and :
At the period, moves like aka . Since at the period is far away from its steady state , there is positive at
==== case 3 ====
The period is such that "too long for all variables", then zero derivatives in the linear system and solved to and drops to 0 from of the previous period. This period is not what interests inverter's designers and is never reached and the loop1 MOSFET is OFF to next stage.
Typically 33k Hz is the period frequency for an inverter's MOSFET with respect to its C and L.

When almost zero while is still significantly changing:
As is small, it leads to on stage 1 as and stage 3 as
reading: the voltage of the primary coil is increased by ratio to drive the load of the secondary coil.
Note that the steady state, aka the state of , of stage 1 and stage 3 is as the is the resistance.
