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 developing TOPSwitch flyback power supplies, transformer design is usually the biggest stumbling block. Flyback transformers are not designed or used like normal transformers. Energy is stored in ...

Here are the steps required to select the transformer and how to design the circuit needed to meet the end use in a manner that prevents transformer saturation Average current-mode control (CMC) ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. In last month's Power Design column, we examined the functional principles of continuous mode (or incomplete energy transfer mode) of a flyback ...

THE POWER SOURCES MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION (PSMA) is celebrating its twentieth anniversary by offering hardcopy reprints of a classic text on transformer design for less than a student would have ...

As a senior transformer consulting engineer at Doble Engineering Co., Dom Corsi has had the opportunity to inspect transformer factories around the world. He has witnessed the manufacturing of both ...

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 ...

Magnetic components, particularly transformers operating at high frequencies and voltages, are intrinsically influenced by parasitic capacitance. This unintended capacitance between conductive ...
