A new type of DC-DC converter based on Hybrid-switching Method™ and a novel Hybrid Transformer™ enables a high step-down voltage conversion and provides a regulated output voltage of 1V from a 48V ...

Milpitas, CA–DC/DC converters which use a transformer for isolation—as many of them do—have a potential problem: under large, sudden changes in output load or input voltage, the loop closure may not ...

Several switching-converter topologies exist for power converters that operate from the ac mains and must maintain a power factor of 0.9 or better. One topology is a boost converter with a control ...

As fuel costs continue to rise and power outages become more prevalent around the country, the necessity of utilizing energy-efficient products of all types is becoming universally recognized.

Elsco Transformers reports that choosing the right transformer size involves calculating kVA based on voltage and current for ...

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 ...
