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 ...

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 ...

Here are the steps required to select the transformer and how to design the circuit needed to meet the end use in a manner that prevents transformer saturation Average current-mode control (CMC) ...

Flyback transformers come in two flavors: CCM (continuous conduction mode) and DCM (discontinuous conduction mode). The DCM version is the one we will develop here. The idea of the DCM flyback is that ...

It is important for machine design engineers to understand how transformers work so they can design machinery that operates optimally within the proper voltage ranges, as well as select the right ...

Need superior isolation from high voltage hazards? A new Bourns app note details a breakthrough transformer design that provides an elevated degree of isolation for increased safety in high-voltage ...
