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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Here are the steps required to select the transformer and how to design the circuit needed to meet the end use in a manner that prevents transformer saturation Average current-mode control (CMC) ...

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 ...

step-down transformers decrease the voltage. The transformer in the diagram above is a step-down transformer – there are fewer turns on the secondary coil than on the primary coil. Type of transformer ...
