The energy absorbed and released by transformer leakage inductances during each switching period usually ends up as loss, thus impairing switching power supply efficiency. Even when much of this energy is recycled and recovered through the use of resonant or active clamping techniques, leakage inductance remains as the main factor in cross-regulation errors among multiple outputs, a problem tha...

The paper analyzes the large power transformer unit regimes, indicating the criteria for the management of the voltage operating conditions, as well as the change in the operating conditions with the load connected to the secondary winding of the transformer unit. Further, the paper presents the software application for the evaluation of the transformer unit operation under different conditions...

The squared-field-derivative method for calculating eddy-current (proximity-effect) losses in round-wire or litz-wire transformer and inductor windings is derived. The method is capable of analyzing losses due to two-dimensional and three-dimensional field effects in multiple windings with arbitrary waveforms in each winding. It uses a simple set of numerical magnetostatic field calculations, w...

The voltage control is performed by changing the turns ratio. This is done by provision of taps in the winding. The volts per turn available in large transformers is quite high and hence a change of even one turn on the LV side represents a large percentage change in the voltage. Also the LV currents are normally too large to take out the tapping from the windings. LV winding being the inner wi...

0 OVERVIEW The Jensen JT-MB-x series transformers, commonly called "mic splitters", are designed to "bridge" the output of a 150 S to 200 S microphone. The "MB" in the part number stands for Microphone Bridging. They are available in 2, 3, and 4 winding versions and are generally used to provide additional, isolated outputs from a single microphone. The microphone is directly connected to the f...

Autotransformers (ATs) have been widely used for many years. For large size ATs, a tertiary winding is usually included. Sometimes the tertiary winding is loaded for station service, local loads, VAR compensation, etc. Other times, the tertiary winding is buried and acts as stabilizing winding which provides a path for zero-sequence current and 3rd harmonic current. Three-winding ATs present so...

A new synchronous rectifier (SR) driving method is proposed using primary current sensing in this paper. Because the magnetizing current of transformer is included in primary winding of transformer, it can’t be used to generate the driving signals of SRs directly. A current compensating winding in current transformer is used to cancel out the magnetizing current and generate suitable driving si...

Detecting and removing minor faults in power transformer winding is essential because minor faults may develop and lead to major faults and finally irretrievable damages occur. In this paper in order to detect the position of short-circuit in the winding, frequency response of the input impedance of a power transformer is analyzed. Common short-circuits are categorized and the results are compa...

Multi input and multi output converters are becoming popular because they are cost effective and compact. This paper proposes a multi input multi output converter for Grid-Solar power integration for uninterrupted power supply. The proposed converter uses four winding transformer with two primary windings and two secondary windings. The grid supply is connected to the first winding of transform...
