In switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), magnetic components, namely inductors and transformers, play critical roles. Much of the SMPS design process relies on component specifications and simulation ...
Download this article in PDF format. If you search the internet for “transformer equivalent circuits,” you’ll get five pages of over 100 small circuit diagrams. Figures 1 and 2 show two typical ...
Current transformer (CT) saturation presents a critical challenge in the realm of power system protection and automation. Under fault conditions, the magnetic core of a CT may become saturated, ...
One of the major challenges facing the electric industry is how to manage network fault levels, the magnitude of the electrical current that flows into a fault or short circuit. These current levels ...
power is measured in watts (W) potential difference is measured in volts (V) current is measured in amperes, also referred to as amps (A) A step-down transformer converts 11,500 V into 230 V. The ...
