Startup Hyperscale Power is developing technology that promises to shrink power transformers, freeing up precious space within data centers.
The PLA51 planar power transformer handles up to 3 kW in a 70 x 53 x 22-mm package. The device weighs only 170 g and is intended to operate at 50 to 400 kHz.
It is important for machine design engineers to understand how transformers work so they can design machinery that operates optimally within the proper voltage ranges, as well as select the right ...
Have you ever noticed those metal canisters attached to utility poles? Those are transformers. They convert high-voltage electricity from power plants to lower-level electricity that’s safe for homes ...
Simulations on the Stampede2 supercomputer of the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) are helping scientists engineer solutions to overheating of grid transformers -- a critical component of the ...
Pulse Electronics Corporation launches a new planar platform that increases throughput power for Pulse's planar SMT transformers by 50% over transformers of comparable size to deliver up to 800 watts ...
America is currently in the midst of a transformer super cycle. In the short term, a 2020 study by the United States' Department of Energy reported that 70 percent of the country's distribution ...
Electrica signature analysis (ESA) uses the magnetic field in the air gap of an electrical machine to evaluate power quality conditions. Dry and oil transofrmer types are subject to problems ...
