Power-transformer designs minimize weight and cost based on three assumptions: (1) the power source is a sine wave, (2) the frequency is fixed, and (3) the voltage will not exceed a specified maximum.

The future of electronic devices lies partly within the 'internet of things' -- the network of devices, vehicles and appliances embedded within electronics to enable connectivity and data exchange.

If you’ve been tearing electronic devices apart for long enough, you’ll know that the old gear had just as many mysteries within as the newer stuff. The parts back then were bigger, of course, but ...

Omicron offers a FRA (Frequency Response Analysis) measurement device for detecting possible damage to the windings or the magnetic core of a power transformer after transportation or after very high ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new state-of-the-art Variable Frequency Transformer (VFT), a key component in a 138-kV electric interconnection between Laredo and Mexico was dedicated May 18, at the Laredo VFT substation. Texas ...
