Arguably, the most tedious part of any Tesla coil build is winding the transformer. Getting that fine wire wound onto a suitable form, making everything neat, and making sure it’s electrically and ...

Those readers who have experimented with winding their own inductors will know that it’s not an easy task, and when those inductors are handling high voltages it can be especially tricky to maintain ...

In power distribution systems, three-phase transformer configuration directly impacts system reliability and load management.

Electric current is often magic and mysterious. Before people knew about electricity, many natural phenomena appeared as supernatural events caused by angry gods. Fortunately people today know physics ...

Bob is a service technician who is well trained and nationally certified. However, he sometimes suffers from the same confusion that all technicians occasionally do - the facts that he gathers may or ...

step-down transformers decrease the voltage. The transformer in the diagram above is a step-down transformer – there are fewer turns on the secondary coil than on the primary coil. Type of transformer ...

This equation can be used to calculate what the output might be from a particular transformer, or to work out how to design a transformer to make a particular potential difference (pd) change: \(\frac ...
