When alternating current (AC) prevailed over direct current (DC) in the late 1800s, one of the deciding factors was the need for voltage levels to be raised and lowered throughout the power system to ...

A 503-line Basic program provides numerical and graphical information to aid you in selecting optimum core and wire types in transformer designs. Most transformer designers agree that copper loss ...

Unlike the voltage transformer, a current transformer measures current from one circuit to another, which requires different calculations to create the optimal design. Current transformers measure ...

The standard for precise current measurement in instrumentation and other high reliability equipment applications has been the current-sense transformer. With the increasing availability of ...

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 ...

Editor’s note: I am pleased to bring you this excellent tutorial by Steve Subiry, Global Products Manager for Magnetics at Eaton. Enjoy. Magnetics are essential components in power topologies but they ...
