Using a flyback topology to generate a high voltage is a common approach. The voltage can charge a capacitor for a high-energy pulse. Such an approach is used in defibrillator capacitors, photoflash ...

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, ...

This test set uniquely combines winding resistance measurement, transformer turns ratio, tap changer dynamic resistance, core demagnetization, transformer type detection, magnetic balance, short ...

Elsco Transformers reports that choosing the right transformer size involves calculating kVA based on voltage and current for efficient operations.

Short-circuit currents represent a tremendous amount of destructive energy, which can be released through electrical systems under fault conditions. Baseline short-circuit studies should be performed ...

All transformers have nameplates, and all manufacturers use the same nomenclature for capacity, ratings, impedance, and other pertinent information. This article focuses on dry- or oil-type ...
