Planar transformers and inductors for high-frequency converters differ radically from conventional magnetics in that they do not use magnet wire. Instead, windings are copper-foil lead frames or flat ...

In the first installment of this series, "Calculating a practical hotspot safety margin", we discussed how two-parameter thermal models assume that the entire motor, including windings, exhibits one ...

Luxtron has released its ThermAsset2 temperature controller, designed for direct, real-time control for power transformers down to 25 MVA. The ThermAsset2 is a much sought-after addition to the ...
