Design engineers are constantly faced with the challenge of specifying a transformer that will meet design specifications as well as cost constraints. The designer who draws up the circuit ...

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 ...

I’m sure many readers would question why anyone would want to perform a relatively expensive insulation power factor test on an inexpensive transformer. Typically, if any testing is done, it will be ...

Almost all distribution transformers produced or imported into the U.S. could require amorphous steel cores starting in 2027 under new energy efficiency standards proposed by the Department of Energy ...

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 ...

Power-transformer designs minimize weight and cost based on three assumptions: (1) the power source is a sine wave, (2) the frequency is fixed, and (3) the voltage will not exceed a specified maximum.

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, ” Transformer Core Market by Core, Product, Winding, Cooling, Insulation, Application and Region: Global Opportunity Analysis and ...

Transformers for power applications often are limited in size by an acceptable temperature rise. An acceptable temperature rise of a transformer is usually dependent on limitations of the materials ...

When alternating current (AC) prevailed over direct current (DC) in the late 1800s, one of the deciding factors was the need for voltage levels to be raised and lowered throughout the power system to ...

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 ...
