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 ...

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 ...

In this paper, the authors develop a program for the design of transformer using Matlab. The proposed methodology has many advantages for transformer manufacturers, since they can save design ...

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 ...

Planar transformers and inductors for high-frequency converters differ radically from conventional magnetics in that they do not use magnet wire. Instead, windings are copper-foil lead frames or flat ...

Improvements in power transformers will address the needs of the smart grid. Benefits include enhanced energy security, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improved urban air quality, and greater grid ...
