High Voltage Transformer Design

By sps | Transformers | Comments are Closed | 23 August, 2019 | 0

When it comes to high voltage transformer design, it can be a bit tricky. When you’re trying to target a particular voltage one needs to account for things such as DCR losses in the windings. This is important when regulation is important.   Design Procedure: The following high voltage transformer design procedure will get you close to…

Excessive Inventory For Sale!

By sps | News & Announcements, Transformers | Comments are Closed | 10 July, 2019 | 0

A super quiet EP13 size flyback transformer. Primary inductance is 4.31mH +/- 10%. Switching frequency is 60 KHz minimum. The input is rated at 120V. There are 2 outputs rated at 2.5V/600mA and an aux rated at 17V/20mA. The power rating is 3.4VA, but it could handle twice that at 6.8VA. The design reduces electrical…

AC to DC Conversion: Voltage Transformation

By sps | Education, Transformers | Comments are Closed | 13 May, 2019 | 0

Most everything we use of convenience and need these days is electrically powered. Most often we have access to a source of voltage at one, or maybe two particular values. Unfortunately in many cases, the very items we use and need internally have components that do not run at the voltages available to us. Many…

Transformer Design Equation

By sps | Education, Transformers, Inductors | Comments are Closed | 12 March, 2019 | 4

When it comes to transformer design, there is an equation most of us are familiar with. This transformer equation is known as the “transformer design equation”. This transformer equation is applicable for inputs that are of most any voltage. The usual voltage forms are sinusoids as seen in lower frequency silicon steel type transformers such…

Current Sense Transformer Design

By sps | News & Announcements, Transformers | Comments are Closed | 8 October, 2018 | 0

In order to design current sense transformers, you need to determine the DCR of the SEC, the inductance of the SEC, the SEC wire area/gauge to use, the magnetic area of the core, the excitation current, the % error of the CT and the desired output voltage for a given input current. Let’s start by…

Improved Transformer Voltage Regulation Using Mathematical Prediction

By sps | Transformers | Comments are Closed | 14 August, 2018 | 2

Voltage regulation of transformers for no load and full load voltages. So you’ve chosen a bobbin, wire, PRI turns, etc… now you want to spec an output voltage under LOADED conditions and determine the SEC turns needed to meet those voltages… Your output voltage drops when the SEC is LOADED compared when it’s at NO…

Understanding Why Step-Down Transformers Are Used

By Michelle Farnum | Electrical Technology, Education, Transformers | Comments are Closed | 27 February, 2014 | 0

In theory, the power you put into the PRI side of a transformer is that available to you on the SEC side. This statement excludes losses within the core and windings but it is very useful in understanding how transformers work.     Transformers can “transform” voltage, current, and impedance. One type of transformer is known…

History of Transformers and Inductors

By Michelle Farnum | Electrical Technology, Education, Transformers, Inductors | Comments are Closed | 28 July, 2013 | 1

Who Invented the Inductor? The use of electrical transformers and inductors in the electrical realm is such common practice that it’s hard to imagine a world without these devices. When the property of inductance was discovered in the 1830s by Joseph Henry and Michael Faraday (separately and on different continents), technology was revolutionized. Inductance was…

Custom Chokes

Here at CET, we do custom transformer and inductor solutions every day. One such part was a high current custom choke desired by a customer of ours. The design of this part actually went through a couple of iterations. Initially, we designed for performance keeping cost in mind. Our solution was a performance success, but the…

 

What is an Inductor?

What is an inductor, its purpose, and how does it work? Inductors are an electrical component made essentially of a coil of wire, often wound around a magnetic core. From our experts, here are some facts to help you better understand this technology.   What is the Purpose of an Inductor? The purpose of inductors are that…
