Transformers

Latest and greatest offerings in the engineering marketplace

By Design News Staff -- Design News, February 16, 1998

Buck-Boost transformers are for changing line voltages by small amounts. With nameplate sizes from 50 VA to 10 kVA, these small, single-phase, dry-type distribution transformers have a dual-voltage primary and secondary. The transformers can be connected for a range of voltage combinations. When connected as an autotransformer, these units can handle loads up to 20 times the nameplate rating. Hardshell(reg)-encapsulated on sizes 5 kVA and below, the Buck-Boost transformers are for motor loads, HVAC applications, low-voltage lighting, and situations that require correction of sustained high- or low-voltage conditions.

CAD/CAE Model Clean-Up: Reduce Iterative Cycles
This webinar featured research and survey results related to problems associated with preparing CAD geometry for CAE applications. We discussed how Recipe-Based Automation can help create "just-in-time" CAE-ready geometry each time a cad model is updated. Watch the Presentation

Light Matters: A High-Performance, "No-Compromise" Solid State Lamp?
First, let's define "no-compromise". In an ideal configuration, this lamp would use a high-brightness LED (HBLED) that is built into a small, integrated package, and is able to produce a large quantity of focused light, operate with a high level of reliability and generate no audible noise. Is this difficult? Yes, but it is possible.
