A more efficient transformer can pay for itself many times over during its 25-year lifespan The transformer plays a key role in an electrical system’s efficiency and power quality, yet 95% of buying ...

Growing data center power demands are driving server end-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 ...

Maximizing Reliability Through Transformer Maintenance Part 2 focuses on the newest approaches to transformer maintenance, such as the shorted-winding technique for single-phase exciting current and ...

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 ...

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 ...
