Current transformers can perform circuit control, measure current for power measurement and control, and perform roles for safety protection and current limiting. They can also cause circuit events to ...

Designing flyback transformers for switch-mode power supplies involves many calculations. A spreadsheet can make short work of this otherwise-tedious task. When you develop flyback power supplies, ...

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 ...

The flyback design is a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) that’s been used for 70+ years and still going strong. This supply—also called a power converter—has two distinct operating phases, with power ...

Omicron has introduced a way to test current transformers at all lifecycle stages by using a testing method called "the modeling concept". The "traditional" way of testing a current transformer is to ...

Abstract: This paper presents an approach based on Chaotic Optimization Algorithm (COA) for designing current measuring transformers (CTs). This algorithm determines design parameters of CT to ...

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 ...

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 ...
