Soft magnetic materials (materials that can easily be magnetized) come in many forms. For switchmode power supply flyback transformers and chokes, we would consider gapped ferrites, Iron powder, ...

Transformers convert the standard voltage from the wall outlet into the lower voltages required by electronic devices. Similar but more powerful transformers are used in electricity substations to ...

Iron nitride also could serve as a more robust, high-performance transformer core material across the nation's electrical grid. So far, Monson and his colleagues have demonstrated the fabrication of ...

Amorphous metal distribution transformers can minimize no-load losses in wind power applications. The offshore wind farm shown here is the Danish Horns Rev I. As part of its green transformer ...

Ever since the French pioneer, Lucien Gaulard, built the first power transformer, the voltage and power levels of AC transformation have progressed. The underlying physical principles, however, remain ...

The application of electromagnetics has been in practice for more than a century: In 1831, English chemist and physicist Michael Faraday invented the transformer, although he called it an induction ...

Transformers for power applications often are limited in size by an acceptable temperature rise. An acceptable temperature rise of a transformer is usually dependent on limitations of the materials ...
