The use of power electronics is increasing in the industry for both low-scale applications like chargers for batteries and LED drivers and high-scale applications like photovoltaic (PV) systems and ...

Designing flyback transformers for switch-mode power supplies involves many calculations. A spreadsheet can make short work of this otherwise-tedious task. When you develop flyback power supplies, ...

As electrical circuits become more complex, the demand for expert electrical engineering becomes more critical. Precise engineering is essential at every stage of designing a circuit, and it is ...

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 ...

Whenever a power or distribution transformer is isolated from the power system, it is probable that residual magnetism remains in the core due to the phase shift. However, residual magnetism also ...

Planar transformers and inductors for high-frequency converters differ radically from conventional magnetics in that they do not use magnet wire. Instead, windings are copper-foil lead frames or flat ...

Amorphous metal distribution transformers can minimize no-load losses in wind power applications. The offshore wind farm shown here is the Danish Horns Rev I. As part of its green transformer ...
