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 ...

All isolated DC-DC power converters include an input filter, output filter, transformer, primary-side switch(s), secondary-side rectification and a controller. The controller can be referenced to ...

Note: All Code references are based on the 2014 NEC. The NEC has separate sections for transformer feeder protection and transformer protection. Article 240 lists requirements for transformer feeder ...

All regulated power supplies require a feedback link from the output to control the power stage. When isolation is necessary, designers traditionally use an ...

Guest writer Bruce Haug, senior product marketing engineer at Linear Technology describes how a chipset can simplify the design of high-performance forward converters, making them an easy to build and ...

A popular electrical component used on many control circuits is the step-down transformer. It is the power source for a separate lower-voltage circuit which typically controls the operation of a ...

The distribution system, a key subset of the overall electric grid, provides power to residential, commercial and industrial customers. Voltage and reactive power management and control have been done ...
