It’s no surprise that many hardware hackers avoid working with AC, and frankly, we can’t blame them. The potential consequences of making a mistake when working with mains voltages are far greater ...

A three dimensional seismic isolation system was developed and experimentally validated for high-voltage electric power transformers of weight in the range of 300 to 800kip. Although the validation ...

The dc-dc converter has become a standard part of many designs simply because there are many different configurations that address almost any need. Two of the toughest applications for dc-dc ...

Using the flyback-converter topology with a transformer for galvanic isolation. What is the no-opto converter topology? What is the iso-buck converter alternative? As is evidenced in Figure 2, no ...

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 ...
