Each turbine in a wind farm is equipped with a step-up transformer, which boosts (steps up) turbine generator output voltage from a few hundred volts to the collector system’s medium voltage ...

In the early 2000s, I vividly recall my father, a self-taught programmer and electrical engineer, developing a Visual Basic application to calculate voltage regulation for his local utility company.

Follow these basic steps to select the best transformer for each phase of your next project. Suppose you've got the job of designing the power distribution for an entire building. At some point, ...

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 ...

When a mid-sized electric cooperative in the Southeast ordered a batch of 25-kVA pole-mount transformers in early 2024, the ...

In this paper, the authors develop a program for the design of transformer using Matlab. The proposed methodology has many advantages for transformer manufacturers, since they can save design ...

When designing an offline flyback power supply, integrating the IC with the other components can be overwhelming. Integrating the transformer properly is more than finding the turns-ratio to match ...

This is an example of a 45-kVA size-rated 75-kVA green transformer in a typical pole-mounted CPFL installation. After 10 years of a research and development (R&D) project that included the evaluation ...

Almost all distribution transformers produced or imported into the U.S. could require amorphous steel cores starting in 2027 under new energy efficiency standards proposed by the Department of Energy ...
