Following successful final acceptance testing at the Siemens transformer factory in Nuremberg, the world’s first 800-kV transformer for extra-high-voltage DC transmission systems HVDC is ready for ...

Planar transformers and inductors for high-frequency converters differ radically from conventional magnetics in that they do not use magnet wire. Instead, windings are copper-foil lead frames or flat ...

Part 1 of this three-part series laid out an overview of a proposal to create a numerical health index and establish a practical program for power transformer maintenance. Part 2 breaks down each of ...

In switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), magnetic components, namely inductors and transformers, play critical roles. Much of the SMPS design process relies on component specifications and simulation ...
