Lines of magnetic flux are created when a current flows through a conductor. They can transport energy from one winding to another usually though a permeable core of some kind. The amount of flux per area is known as flux density. Transformer and inductor cores have...

In many cases introducing an air gap can be of great use. Often people/engineers may think that introducing an air gap increases the maximum flux density a core can handle. This is actually not true The core has a maximum flux density that is set by the material...

Here at CET, we do custom transformer and inductor solutions every day. One such part was a high current custom choke desired by a customer of ours. The design of this part actually went through a couple of iterations. Initially, we designed for performance keeping...

A switched mode power supply (SMPS) is a more modern and efficient take on the older power supplies known as linear supplies. LINEAR SUPPLIES Linear supplies would often take in line voltage, transform this via a low-frequency silicon steel core transformer to...

When it comes to high voltage transformer design, it can be a bit tricky. When you’re trying to target a particular voltage one needs to account for things such as DCR losses in the windings. This is important when regulation is important. Design Procedure: The...
