The use of power electronics is increasing in the industry for both low-scale applications like chargers for batteries and LED drivers and high-scale applications like photovoltaic (PV) systems and ...

When designing an offline flyback power supply, integrating the IC with the other components can be overwhelming. Integrating the transformer properly is more than finding the turns-ratio to match ...

Flyback transformers come in two flavors: CCM (continuous conduction mode) and DCM (discontinuous conduction mode). The DCM version is the one we will develop here. The idea of the DCM flyback is that ...

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 ...

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 ...

Magnetic components, particularly transformers operating at high frequencies and voltages, are intrinsically influenced by parasitic capacitance. This unintended capacitance between conductive ...

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 ...
