This is basically one-half of an AC/DC power supply circuit, consisting of a line power plug, on/off switch, fuse, indicator lamp, and a step-down transformer. The reason this project idea is strongly recommended is that it may serve as the basis for the recommended power supply project in the next course (ELTR120 – Semiconductors 1). If you build the AC section now, you will not have to re-build an enclosure or any of the line-power circuitry later! Note that the first lab (step-down transformer circuit) may serve as a prototype for this project with just a few additional components.

Ключові слова: Котушка індуктивності, висока напруга, Нікола Тесла, радіотехніка, електрична дуга. Abstract. This article contains a description of the device as a Tesla coil. These characteristics of the principle of history and value creation in modern life. Also describes the process of creating his own judge and practicality of this product in real life. Keywords: Inductor, high voltage, Nikola Tesla, radio, electric arc. I.Introduction Perhaps in the life of every student comes a time when it begins to be interested in their field. In some it comes in the first year, someone on last. At the beginning of the 3rd year I finally decided to solder something with their hands. The choice immediately fell on Tesla coil. But is this thing so important, whether it is only a toy, which is impossible to do anything useful? Let us know about it. II. Summary The Tesla coil is an electrical resonant transformer circuit designed by inventor Nikola Tesla around 1891 as a power supply for his "System of Electric Lighting".It is used to produce high-voltage, low-current, high frequency alternating-current electricity. Tesla experimented with a number of different configurations consisting of two, or sometimes three, coupled resonant electric circuits.

  • On Simplified Calculations of Leakage Inductances of Power Transformers
    energies Article On Simplified Calculations of Leakage Inductances of Power Transformers Tadeusz Sobczyk * and Marcin Jaraczewski * Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Cracow University of Technology, Warszawska 24 Street, 31-155 Cracow, Poland * Correspondence: [email protected] (T.S.); [email protected] (M.J.); Tel.: +48-12-628-2658 (M.J.) Received: 1 August 2020; Accepted: 17 September 2020; Published: 21 September 2020 Abstract: This paper deals with the problem of the leakage inductance calculations in power transformers. Commonly, the leakage flux in the air zone is represented by short-circuit inductance, which determines the short-circuit voltage, which is a very important factor for power transformers. That inductance is a good representation of the typical power transformer windings, but it is insufficient for multi-winding ones. This paper presents simple formulae for self- and mutual leakage inductance calculations for an arbitrary pair of windings. It follows from a simple 1D approach to analyzing the stray field using a discrete differential operator, and it was verified by the finite element method (FEM) calculation results. Keywords: multi-winding transformers; 1D stray field analysis; discrete differential operator; energy-based approach; self- and mutual leakage inductances 1. Introduction Power transformers are rather well-recognized electromagnetic devices. During the almost 150 year history of their development, countless books and papers have been devoted to power transformers, examples of which are [1–4]. Theoretical, design and operation problems have been solved. Besides the classical single-phase and three-phase, new types of power transformers have been designed for special applications: power system control, power electronics units, or electrical traction.

  • Abstract Transformer Design for Dual Active Bridge
    ABSTRACT TRANSFORMER DESIGN FOR DUAL ACTIVE BRIDGE CONVERTER by Egor Iuravin Power transformers have a long history which takes root in 19th century when Michael Faraday introduced the definition of the electromagnetic induction. In the beginning of the 1960s, there was a tendency to increase the frequency of switch mode power supplies. This thesis provides the detailed summary of operating principles, design, simulation and experimental analysis of high frequency power transformers. The focus of this research is to find an optimal transform solution for the DAB converter operating at a power level of 2 kW. Furthermore, the investigation will be carried out to estimate and measure the contact loss of a transformer.

  • Coupled-Inductor Magnetics in Power Electronics
    COUPLED-INDUCTOR MAGNETICS IN POWER ELECTRONICS Thesis by Zhe Zhang In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy California Institute of Technology Pasadena, California 1987 (Submitted October 7, 1986) 11 © 1986 Zhe Zhang All Rights Reserved 111 Acknowledgements I wish to express my deepest gratitude to my advisors, Professor S. Cuk and Professor R. D. Middlebrook, for their encouragement and advice during the five years I have studied at Caltech. I appreciate very much the financial support of the California Institute of Technology by the way of Graduate Teaching Assistantships. In addition, Graduate Re­ search Assistantships supported by the International Business Machines, GTE, Emerson Electric, General Dynamics Corporations, and National Aeronautics and Space Admin­ istration Lewis Research Center are gratefully acknowledged. Most importantly, I thank my wife Guo Zhan, son Zhang Pei, and my parents W. Y. Chang and C. S. Wang. Without their support and understanding my study at Caltech would never have been possible. In addition, I wish to thank Mr. Wang Senlin, my first teacher in electronics, and Mr. Xu Qinglu, my supervisor when I started my first job, for their training and support throughout the years. In the years with the Power Electronics Group, I have learned from the Group much more than I have contributed. I thank all my fellow members of the Power Elec­ tronics Group for all their help and support. lV v Abstract Leakages are inseparably associated with magnetic circuits and are always thought of in three different negative ways: either you have them and you don't want them (transformers), or you don't have them but want them (to limit transformer short circuit currents), or you have them and want them, but you don't have them in the right amount (coupled-inductor magnetic structures).

My Tesla coil top page and links to the Tesla coil web ring Preliminary Cautions, Notes, Warnings, etc. 1. The subject matter in this file assumes you already have some electronic project knowledge and skills. You ought to have some skills in building things, as well as electronic knowledge to the point of knowing simple AC circuit analysis, series and parallel resonant circuits, some amplifier and oscillator theory, and a bit of radio stuff. I hope you know what Armstrong, Hartley and Colpitts oscilators are and how they work. If not, you may still be able to build the stuff mentioned below and burn your house down, but knowing how the stuff below works will help if you don't quite get things working. This is not the place to learn the basics of electronics - spend a week or two reading library books if you have to. 2. Things may not work right the first time.
