It is important for machine design engineers to understand how transformers work so they can design machinery that operates optimally within the proper voltage ranges, as well as select the right ...

Distribution transformers must adhere to NEC and NFPA 70 standards, with specific requirements for overcurrent protection, ...

America is currently in the midst of a transformer super cycle. In the short term, a 2020 study by the United States' Department of Energy reported that 70 percent of the country's distribution ...

Large electric transformers are inconvenient machines. They are large and heavy, which means they usually need to be delivered by sea freight, not air freight, which would be faster. They must be ...

Simulations on the Stampede2 supercomputer of the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) are helping scientists engineer solutions to overheating of grid transformers -- a critical component of the ...
