Using a flyback topology to generate a high voltage is a common approach. The voltage can charge a capacitor for a high-energy pulse. Such an approach is used in defibrillator capacitors, photoflash ...

Transformers are very reliable devices and can provide service for a long time if regularly maintained and serviced. They’re also the single most costly item in any substation. To protect against ...

Capacitance in a transformer winding cannot be avoided. The voltage difference between turns, between winding layers and between windings to core create these parasitic elements. In general, part of ...
