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 ...

Last month's Code Calculations article covered transformer calculation definitions and some specifics of delta transformer calculations. This month we turn our attention to the differences between ...

When comparing the kilovolt-amp demand loading on Southern Company substations with the actual connected transformer nameplate kVA, it was apparent that, on average, the distribution transformers were ...

A transformer transfers electrical energy from one system to another by induction. Except for grounding and bonding connections, there’s no physical connection between the two systems. For this reason ...

Using a flyback topology to generate a high voltage is a common approach. The voltage can charge a capacitor for a high-energy pulse. Such an approach is used in defibrillator capacitors, photoflash ...
