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

This test set uniquely combines winding resistance measurement, transformer turns ratio, tap changer dynamic resistance, core demagnetization, transformer type detection, magnetic balance, short ...

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.

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 ...

When you think of wind farms, images of majestic towers with huge spinning blades spanning the horizon probably come to mind. Designers are not immune to this impulse, as their primary focus is on the ...

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 ...

The use of a copper winding as a temperature sensor for transformer windings is not new. But the circuit presented here goes further. It can make the measurement in-circuit and in real time. The use ...

Those readers who have experimented with winding their own inductors will know that it’s not an easy task, and when those inductors are handling high voltages it can be especially tricky to maintain ...
