As a category of power electronic transformers, DC transformers have demonstrated excellent application prospects. However, the weight and cost of traditional magnetic-core isolation transformers directly constrain the development and applications of DC transformers. Consequently, coreless DC transformers employing lightweight and low-cost coreless isolation transformers have emerged as a new research direction. First, the characteristics of coreless transformers and their functions within DC transformers are systematically reviewed. Second, the technical configurations of coreless DC transformers are analyzed, categorizing them into linear and sinusoidal types. Final, the technical characteristics of three sinusoidal coreless DC transformer variants (i.e., self-inductance resonant, leakage inductance resonant and PT-symmetrical) are examined, and a comparative study of their performance is also conducted.
