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 ...

Single-transistor forward converters are popular in higher-power isolated power supplies because they feature low parts count and component stress. On the downside, careful attention must be given to ...

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 ...

Almost two-thirds (61%) of commercial and industrial transformers operators, transformer OEMs, and network operators had a transformer failure in the last five years, according to a recent survey ...

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, ...

The mains of the world were constructed as a giant copper causeway to transport electricity from the generating station to our homes and factories. Today's problems on the mains were unknown a few ...
