MR16 halogen lamps normally operate from a low-voltage AC source typically generated by a low-frequency AC transformer or by a high-frequency electronic transformer. In most MR16 applications, the ...

Solid state transformers (SSTs) represent a transformative shift in power electronics, replacing conventional electromagnetic transformers with semiconductor-based devices that offer enhanced ...

Article 450, Part I provides the general requirements for transformers. In the 2020 revision, Part 2 was titled “Specific Provisions Applicable to Different Types ...

Several companies are working on technologies that could replace large traditional power transformers with power semiconductors and smaller transformers mounted on circuit boards. Although they are ...

Article 450, Part II provides the installation requirements for transformers. There are actually several sets of requirements, each of which pertains to a specific transformer configuration. Not ...

Transformers are static electrical devices with no moving parts, transforming electrical power from one voltage and current setting to another. The frequency of the electrical current remains constant ...

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 ...

TDK has shrunk its 500V gate drive transformers to 11 x 13mm and 11mm high, smaller than its existing E10EM series. The new parts, called the EP9 series and aimed at both IGBTs and mosfets, are built ...
