I recently had to revamp one of my company’s more-than-30-year-old designs. Like any project these days, the new design needed to be smaller, cheaper, include many more functions, and see completion ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cobham Technical Services claims that the development of new generations of transformers and line reactors is radically simplified and accelerated by a new automated software toolbox from its Vector ...
