Unlike the voltage transformer, a current transformer measures current from one circuit to another, which requires different calculations to create the optimal design. Current transformers measure ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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