The worldwide proliferation of electric and hybrid electric vehicles (EVs and HEVs), which must withstand higher operating voltages and currents than gasoline-powered vehicles, has underscored the ...

It’s no surprise that many hardware hackers avoid working with AC, and frankly, we can’t blame them. The potential consequences of making a mistake when working with mains voltages are far greater ...

Using the flyback-converter topology with a transformer for galvanic isolation. What is the no-opto converter topology? What is the iso-buck converter alternative? As is evidenced in Figure 2, no ...

Model 15633 isolation transformer adapts equipment originally designed for the North American market for export. The transformer is UL listed and C-UL and TUV certified as a short-circuitproof ...

The dc-dc converter has become a standard part of many designs simply because there are many different configurations that address almost any need. Two of the toughest applications for dc-dc ...

A transformer transfers electrical energy from one system to another by induction. Except for grounding and bonding connections, there’s no physical connection between the two systems. For this reason ...

Motors and transformers are some of the most reliable pieces of equipment installed at power plants. However, inadequate maintenance can result in trouble. While regular testing and skilled evaluation ...

There are several reasons you should have an isolation transformer. They can prevent ground loops and also prevent a device under test from having a DC path to ground (or isolate an oscilloscope from ...
