The use of power electronics is increasing in the industry for both low-scale applications like chargers for batteries and LED drivers and high-scale applications like photovoltaic (PV) systems and ...

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 ...

CET Tech’s Craig Lombard presents a step-by-step process on how to design a compact DCM flyback transformer that can meet your needs. Flyback transformers come in two flavors: CCM (continuous ...

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 ...

Learn how to test a transformer: insulation resistance, TTR, winding resistance, polarity, continuity, and dielectric checks. Confirm condition, find faults, and keep safe with a multimeter, ...

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