Testing is crucial for ensuring the reliability of transformers in power grids. While their electrical function may seem simple, transformers are actually complex machines that require careful design, ...

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 ...

Power transformers are often the main source of common-mode noise in isolated switching power converters. Why? Because inside the transformer, the windings on the primary and secondary sides of the ...

In power distribution systems, three-phase transformer configuration directly impacts system reliability and load management. Understanding the trade-offs between Delta and Wye connections enables ...

Small, isolated power supplies provide power across isolation barriers in applications from electric vehicle traction inverters to factory control modules. In this Power Tip, I’ll examine different ...

Power transformers are one of the most critical and expensive assets in electric transmission and distribution. An in-service transformer failure can have far-reaching consequences: extended outages, ...

The demand for higher efficiency and smaller packages has been the driving force behind advances in switch-mode power-conversion topologies including buck, boost, flyback, forward converters, and ...
