Magnetic components, particularly transformers operating at high frequencies and voltages, are intrinsically influenced by parasitic capacitance. This unintended capacitance between conductive ...

This article is a general discussion of distributed capacitance, Cd, in transformers with emphasis on measurement. We will discuss how capacitance occurs, references to formula for calculating, how ...

One of the most critical components in a step-up design like Figure 1 is the transformer. Transformers have parasitic components that can cause them to deviate from their ideal characteristics, and ...

Certain inherent elements within the power supply, such as transformer isolation and line inductance and capacitance, will attenuate the signal even before they reach the input filter line. If ...

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 ...

Often used in dc-dc converter modules for power levels below 100 W, single-transistor, resonant reset forward converters are also useful for dc-dc converters with adjustable output voltages. Among ...
