The low cost, simplicity of design and intrinsic efficiency of flyback transformers have made them a popular solution for power supply designs of below 100W to 150W. Other advantages of the flyback ...

THE maximum temperature rise of the conductors and of the insulating materials in electrical apparatus when working is usually the factor which determines their capacity. Electrical engineers, ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. The size, performance and cost of a power electronic system are closely linked to the like parameters of the magnetic components. Since custom power ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. In last month's Power Design column, we examined the functional principles of continuous mode (or incomplete energy transfer mode) of a flyback ...

THIS very complete treatise on the alternate current or static transformer will no doubt be found of considerable value in the drawing- office of practical transformer builders, and also by teachers ...

The paper shows how the technique of dynamic programming was applied to the problem of determining the optimum mix of widths of steel used to `pack' a transformer coil. The approach enables the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
