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 ...

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 ...

The standard for precise current measurement in instrumentation and other high reliability equipment applications has been the current sense transformer. They are accurate, easy to implement, and ...

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 ...

Transformers are static electrical devices with no moving parts, transforming electrical power from one voltage and current setting to another. The frequency of the electrical current remains constant ...

Each turbine in a wind farm is equipped with a step-up transformer, which boosts (steps up) turbine generator output voltage from a few hundred volts to the collector system’s medium voltage ...

The units feature an intuitive orange three-position (Operating, Shorting and Measuring) disconnect lever. Engaging the lever fully automatically short-circuits the transformer when using the required ...
