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.

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 ...

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 ...

MATERIALS that conduct electricity without losing any of it are the stuff that electricity companies dream of. In fact, they are far from being a pipe dream. All metals, as a Dutch physicist, Heike ...

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 ...

Like all of the electrical distribution equipment serving critical systems, transformers are a key component. That's why it's crucial to evaluate your decision from every angle before choosing a unit.

The distributor has two jobs: to house a switch that tells the coil when to send a spark, and to send that spark to each individual cylinder in the correct order. The distributor shaft is spun by the ...
