Each turbine in a wind farm is equipped with a step-up transformer, which boosts (steps up) turbine generator output voltage from a few hundred volts to the collector system’s medium voltage ...

In the early 2000s, I vividly recall my father, a self-taught programmer and electrical engineer, developing a Visual Basic application to calculate voltage regulation for his local utility company.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Electricity (OE) has released a report for distribution transformers in the electrical power grid. The report, prepared by researchers at the National ...

Follow these basic steps to select the best transformer for each phase of your next project. Suppose you've got the job of designing the power distribution for an entire building. At some point, ...

One of the most dangerous locations in a power distribution system with regard to incident energy is that first panelboard on the secondary of a transformer. With some thought in your design — even if ...

When designing an offline flyback power supply, integrating the IC with the other components can be overwhelming. Integrating the transformer properly is more than finding the turns-ratio to match ...

Transformers are static electrical devices with no moving parts, transforming electrical power from one voltage and current setting to another. The frequency of the electrical current remains constant ...
