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 ...

The low-power (milliwatt) flyback transformer used in a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) needs to be designed with a gap in the magnetic path for maximum power delivery over temperature. Transformers ...

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 ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. The size, performance and cost of a power electronic system are closely linked to the like parameters of the magnetic components. Since custom power ...

It won’t have an immediate transformative effect on troublesome shortages, but a new U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) ruling brings more clarity to solving the long-term puzzle of future transformer ...

SUVELL at Middle East Energy At the MEE exhibition, Wenzhou Shuowei Electric Co., Ltd. (SUVELL) demonstrated why it has become a significant player in the high-tech power accessories sector. The ...

Baluns enable impedance matching, minimize signal distortion, and suppress common-mode noise in RF and high-frequency designs ...

Custom-designed transformers got a bad reputation a decade or two ago. One of the knocks against them was a lack of repeatability. It could be tough to get replacements that worked like the originals ...

This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. The rapid buildout of fast-charging stations for electric vehicles is testing the limits of today’s ...
