One of the most dangerous locations in a power distribution system with regard to incident energy is that first panelboard on the secondary of a transformer. With some thought in your design — even if ...

For a PDF version of this article, click here. Power converters based on the forward topology offer high efficiency and good power-handling capability in applications up to several hundred watts. The ...

Power-transformer designs minimize weight and cost based on three assumptions: (1) the power source is a sine wave, (2) the frequency is fixed, and (3) the voltage will not exceed a specified maximum.

It won’t have an immediate transformative effect on troublesome shortages, but a new U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) ruling brings more clarity to solving the long-term puzzle of future transformer ...

Flyback transformers come in two flavors: CCM (continuous conduction mode) and DCM (discontinuous conduction mode). The DCM version is the one we will develop here. The idea of the DCM flyback is that ...
