Abstract

A planar transformer power supply for an electrosurgical device to minimize stray capacitance comprising a step down/step-up isolation transformer and circuitry to limit the effects of a short circuit in the output of the planar transformer power supply on the input to the planar transformer power supply to enhance power capacity at a low load impedance as low as from about 5 ohms to about 10 ohms and to operate at resonance at the output of the planar transformer power supply.

Claims (1)

1. A planar transformer power supply for an electrosurgical device to minimize stray capacitance comprising an isolation transformer and circuitry to limit the effects of a short circuit in the output of said planar transformer power supply to enhance power capacity at a low load impedance including a planar, bifilar push-pull/step-down, step-up resonant transformer comprising an input section and an output section, said input section comprises a primary step-down winding coupled to primary input and output terminals and said output section comprises a secondary step-up winding coupled across secondary input and output terminals, a transformer core section is disposed in operative relationship relative to said primary step-down winding and said secondary step-up winding, said primary step-down winding and the secondary step-up winding are tapped, said transformer core section comprises a first core and a second core disposed in operative relationship relative to said primary step-down winding and said secondary step-up winding and inductively coupled to each other by windings to cooperatively form a step-down transformer segment and a step-up transformer segment on the output side of said transformer core section, said secondary input terminal is coupled to a return electrode through a pair of parallel capacitors, said secondary output terminal is coupled through capacitors to a first or primary active electrode, said secondary tap is coupled to a second or secondary active electrode through a capacitor and said secondary output terminal is coupled to said secondary input terminal through a capacitor to reduce stray capacitance.
