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 ...

The low-power (milliwatt) flyback transformer used in a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) needs to be designed with a gap in the magnetic path for maximum power delivery over temperature. Transformers ...

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 ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. The size, performance and cost of a power electronic system are closely linked to the like parameters of the magnetic components. Since custom power ...

The first G1 Arcee never was never produced, but it lives on 40 years later in an upcoming high-end release from the ...

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 ...

This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. The rapid buildout of fast-charging stations for electric vehicles is testing the limits of today’s ...

Average current-mode control (CMC) requires that the total waveform of the current be reconstructed for the control loop. This article presents the steps required to select the transformer and how to ...

ELSCO Transformers reports that effective emergency transformer replacement minimizes downtime and financial loss, ...
