LLC-dc transformers (LLC-DCXs) operate under fixed-frequency and open-loop conditions to achieve high efficiency and are promising converters that can be used in the auxiliary power units (APUs) of electric locomotives. An optimal design method of LLC-DCXs is proposed in this article. First, the time-domain expressions of the symmetric half-bridge LLC resonant converter with split resonant capacitors are derived. A current increment method is proposed to determine the expressions. Second, the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) and voltage gain limiting conditions are used to obtain the magnetizing inductance ranges. The converter losses and zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) ranges are considered to determine the final magnetizing inductance. A 10-kW prototype is used as an example, and a detailed parameter design process is implemented. Compared with conventional design methods for magnetizing inductance, the proposed method can effectively determine the maximum magnetizing inductance for the DCM operation of the converter. The effectiveness of the proposed method is proven by the simulations and experimental results obtained for the 10-kW LLC-DCX prototype. The maximum efficiency of the designed converter is 98.12% under the full load.
