This redesigned series of electronic transformers complies with the new UL standard (2108) for low-voltage lighting systems. Using an enhanced “auto reset” function, the transformers are protected ...

The basic schematic of an electronic transformer (ET) includes a traditional full-bridge rectifier, a self-oscillating chopping circuit, and an output-power transformer. The self-oscillating circuit ...

These days, homeowners are clamoring for pendants that hang from the ceiling, moody undercabinet lighting, recessed lighting and outdoor path lights that illuminate the edge of the front walk. Of ...

As electrical circuits become more complex, the demand for expert electrical engineering becomes more critical. Precise engineering is essential at every stage of designing a circuit, and it is ...

Solid state transformers (SSTs) represent a transformative shift in power electronics, replacing conventional electromagnetic transformers with semiconductor-based devices that offer enhanced ...

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 ...

TDK Corp. has introduced two new types of the EPCOS InsuGate series (B78541A) transformers, part of the UI7 platform. These compact SMT transformers with a high working voltage target gate-driver ...
