It won’t have an immediate transformative effect on troublesome shortages, but a new U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) ruling brings more clarity to solving the long-term puzzle of future transformer ...
In the era where electrical systems are a vital part of day-to-day life, the safety as well as efficiency of electrical ...
Have you ever noticed those metal canisters attached to utility poles? Those are transformers. They convert high-voltage electricity from power plants to lower-level electricity that’s safe for homes ...
For the PDF version of this article, click here. Among the first decisions engineers must make when designing a new switchmode power supply are transformer size, working frequency and the selection of ...
Significant cost reductions and performance enhancements in planar magnetics have been introduced in recent years. These include replacing costly multilayer PCBs with lower-resistance flat coil ...
That’s when new DOE minimum efficiency requirements kick in for both medium- voltage dry-type and liquidfilled transformers and induction motors. That’s a lot of transformers and motors. Approximately ...
Three major electric power trade groups in a letter on Feb. 15 urged the Department of Energy (DOE) to reconsider proposed energy efficiency conservation standards for distribution transformers, ...
