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 ...

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 ...

In power distribution systems, three-phase transformer configuration directly impacts system reliability and load management.

Whenever a power or distribution transformer is isolated from the power system, it is probable that residual magnetism remains in the core due to the phase shift. However, residual magnetism also ...

The demand for higher efficiency and smaller packages has been the driving force behind advances in switch-mode power-conversion topologies including buck, boost, flyback, forward converters, and ...

Growing data center power demands are driving server equipment manufacturers to reach higher power-conversion efficiencies in order to reduce the thermal footprint of their systems. The transition ...

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 ...
