#151974 - Design Approach
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Look at the primary of the transformer as an inductor. You need to design it so that, at the operating frequency, the inductor DOESN'T Saturate. Energy now stored is 1/2 L I^2, and will be transferred to the load when you switch off the IGBT. Personally, I'd use a Mosfet, you don't need an IGBT for this at all, and your switching losses may well be lower.
