A History Guide to the Flyback Transformer

A flyback transformer is a high voltage and a mid to high frequency transformer that used to only power CRT monitors and televisions. Also referred to as a line output transformer, they used to generate voltages ranging from 10 to 35kV...

How to Make a Step-up Transformer?

The transformer is a static device that is used in electrical or electronic circuits to change the voltage in an Alternating Current (AC) electrical supply. It transforms electrical energy from one circuit to another with the help of mutual induction between the primary and secondary windings..

Theory of Operation of Single-Phase Transformers

An electrical power transformer is a static device, which transforms electrical energy from one circuit to another without any direct electrical connection. It also performs this with the help of mutual induction between two windings.

The Ideal Transformer

An ideal transformer is often referred to as an imaginary transformer, because it does not have any loss in it. The efficiency of this transformer is considered to be 100%. So, there are no losses associated with the operation of an ideal transformer.

The Equivalent Circuit of a Practical Transformer

Transformer windings are made mainly of copper. Although copper is a very good conductor, it still has some internal resistance. Hence, both the primary and the secondary winding of a transformer have finite resistances viz. R1 and R2.

How to Enable Impedance Transformation

Impedance transformation is a crucial aspect of transformer function. Successful impedance matching is imperative to the performance of the transformer in an industrial application. It is important to understand the concept of impedance and its process.

How to Create a Design using an ‘Ideal Transformer’ Schematic

Every transformer manufacturer strives to create an ideal transformer. In theory, an ideal transformer is one that can induce a voltage in the secondary winding without causing loss of power, drop in voltage, or waveform distortion.

How To Improve The Efficiency Of An AC Or Laminated Transformer?

Transformer performance depends a great deal on its efficiency. In theory, a transformer is designed to never suffer from load losses. However, in reality, transformers used in real-time applications suffer from load as well as no load losses. Loss of efficiency leads to lack of transformer performance.

How To Install a Transformer?

Dealing with electrical instruments and devices require a certain level of knowledge and expertise. In the same way, installation of electrical transformers consists of certain crucial steps that are supposed to be followed in order to ensure proper functioning

How do Transformers Play an Important Role in Industrial Applications?

Electric transformers are an integral part of our day-to-day life. Transformer applications can be either domestic or industrial. Different types of transformers are used to step-up or step-down the voltage for various devices.

How Does a Transformer Work?

Electronic transformers are fundamental devices that use electromagnetic induction in order to transfer energy between two circuits. This transfer of energy is performed without any physical connections between the two circuits.
