Disclosed are apparatus and methods for embedded high voltage transformer components. Industrial applications require transformers that provide high voltage isolation. The laminate materials used for fabricating Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) are very good insulators and PCB transformers can provide higher voltage isolation than traditional wire wound devices. There are a variety of PCB laminate materials with different properties for voltage breakdown. FR-4 laminate is commonly used and has voltage breakdown properties exceeding 10 kV/mm. To produce PCB transformers with breakdown voltages exceeding 5 kV, it is beneficial to use laminate with much higher breakdown voltages. Generally, the materials with high breakdown voltage cost more. High voltage isolation can be achieved at a moderate cost by mixing low cost FR-4 laminate with high voltage dielectric materials.
