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 ...

The standard for precise current measurement in instrumentation and other high reliability equipment applications has been the current sense transformer. They are accurate, easy to implement, and ...

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 ...

A new line of compact RoHS-compliant current transformers feature a 1:500 turns ratio and handle currents from 0.1 to 30 A. Operating frequencies range from 50 to 400 Hz. The transformers have a ...

WAGO Corporation's new TOPJOB®S current transformer disconnect terminal blocks simplify current transformer testing, as well as increase safety, within power monitoring applications. WAGO ...

Design engineers should know how transformers work so they can design machinery that operates optimally within the proper voltage ranges. Because the equipment that these engineers design will ...

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 ...

Cobham Technical Services claims that the development of new generations of transformers and line reactors is radically simplified and accelerated by a new automated software toolbox from its Vector ...

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

In many electrical installations, general-purpose contactors are used to switch the supply voltage to a small dry-type transformer on and off. One common reason this is done is for area lighting ...
