9 At CT has one primary turn and 100 secondary turns. It has a core cross section
Marks: 2 area of 25 mm2. This CT is connected as a PT in the forward converter
configuration with 1 turn primary and 100 turn secondary and allowing the core flux
density to swing up to 0.2T. Core demagnetising is achieved using a schottky diode
and resistor combination connected across the primary. If the forward converter is
switched at 100KHz and 50% duty cycle, what is the output voltage of the forward
converter? (Assume all power semiconductor switches to be ideal). Give the answer
in volts.
