Last month's Code Calculations article covered transformer calculation definitions and some specifics of delta transformer calculations. This month we turn our attention to the differences between ...

A popular electrical component used on many control circuits is the step-down transformer. It is the power source for a separate lower-voltage circuit which typically controls the operation of a ...

A transformer transfers electrical energy from one system to another by induction. Except for grounding and bonding connections, there’s no physical connection between the two systems. For this reason ...

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 ...

To prevent similar situations in the future, Chinese engineers have now developed a 750-megavolt-ampere (MVA) smart DC ...

step-down transformers decrease the voltage. The transformer in the diagram above is a step-down transformer – there are fewer turns on the secondary coil than on the primary coil. Type of transformer ...

Testing is crucial for ensuring the reliability of transformers in power grids. While their electrical function may seem simple, transformers are actually complex machines that require careful design, ...
