People can thank voltage transformers, a kind of instrument transformer, for decreasing voltage intensity to safe levels and subsequently transporting the reduced power to homes. Transformers, which ...

These days, homeowners are clamoring for pendants that hang from the ceiling, moody undercabinet lighting, recessed lighting and outdoor path lights that illuminate the edge of the front walk. Of ...

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 ...

Why is understanding high-voltage oil-filled transformer bushings so critical? High-voltage power transformers are an essential component of our nation's electric grid infrastructure. Bushings are the ...

The low-power (milliwatt) flyback transformer used in a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) needs to be designed with a gap in the magnetic path for maximum power delivery over temperature. Transformers ...

When signal current goes through the primary winding, it generates a magnetic field which induces a voltage across the secondary winding. Connecting a load to the secondary causes an AC current to ...

An explosion, a fireball and then darkness: Heathrow Airport uses as much energy as a small city, and when a major fire at a substation caused the power to fail late Thursday, the world learned how ...

Smart transformers are designed to help better manage power for cities, and the largest smart transformer in the world apparently just went online.
