Understanding High-Frequency Transformers

Comments Off on Understanding High-Frequency Transformers

Due to their small size and efficiency, high-frequency transformers are increasingly being used in today’s power electronics to maximize energy transfer, as they operate well beyond the traditional 50/60 Hz. By operating at frequencies ranging from hundreds of hertz to megahertz, high-frequency transformers enable lighter, smaller, and more efficient systems. For this reason, these transformers […]

Advancements in Solid-State Modulators

Comments Off on Advancements in Solid-State Modulators

Contemporary pulsed power systems typically use solid-state modulators to maintain consistently high-voltage pulses. They operate with semiconductor switches that regulate pulses. At the same time, they reduce the need for maintenance and potential system shutdowns and downtime. The solid-state modulator design is an upgrade from outdated thyratron-based solutions. As a result, these modulators offer superior […]

The Importance of Transformer Insulation

Comments Off on The Importance of Transformer Insulation

Transformer insulation is important in preventing electrical discharges and ensuring the long-term reliability of equipment. When correctly applied, it protects against voltage stress, enhances safety, and improves efficiency across high-voltage systems. Insulation also helps reduce maintenance needs by resisting thermal, electrical, and environmental stressors. Without it, transformers are vulnerable to failures, system disruptions, and significant […]

Why Compact Custom Transformers Are Essential

Comments Off on Why Compact Custom Transformers Are Essential

Modern engineering focuses on packing greater performance into smaller, lighter designs. This is especially important in aerospace and advanced electronics, where compact, high-efficiency components influence safety and mission success. For example, transformers often require customization to meet critical application needs, such as precise voltage regulation, lower power output, and operation at higher frequencies. Stangenes Industries, […]

Pulse Modulator Applications

Comments Off on Pulse Modulator Applications

Pulse modulators are essential components in fields such as communications, motor control, radar, and even digital audio. By converting signals into pulses, these modulators improve transmission efficiency and limit noise interference, giving users greater control of power signal outputs. Some pulse modulators can alter numerous signal characteristics, while others function on a single parameter (e.g., […]

Current Transducer vs. Current Transformer

Comments Off on Current Transducer vs. Current Transformer

There are two main devices that monitor and manage electrical current: current transducers and current transformers. Both current transducers and current transformers are used in various settings to measure electric current, with some key differences. Current transducers convert current for monitoring and assessment, while current transformers divide current so it can safely be used as […]

Non-Intrusive Inspection: What It Is & How It Works

Comments Off on Non-Intrusive Inspection: What It Is & How It Works

What is Non-Intrusive Inspection? Non-intrusive cargo scanning uses equipment that can produce high-speed electron beams to detect contraband. Using non-intrusive inspection technology eliminates the need for vessel entry throughout the inspection process. NII equipment offers a safer, more cost-effective alternative to time-sensitive inspection programs that typically require entry to achieve a thorough cargo inspection. NII […]

Here, we’ll explore voltage droop in more detail, why and when it occurs, and the causes of voltage droop to help you understand and prevent the effects of this phenomenon. We will also […]

Understanding the Role of Power Supplies in RF Systems

Comments Off on Understanding the Role of Power Supplies in RF Systems

RF energy sources generate high-frequency electromagnetic fields. Though they’re commonly used in communications applications, RF power supply systems can power a wide range of applications through both transformer and transformerless options.  These high-frequency electromagnetic fields resonate inside cavities to generate specific signals, frequencies, and secondary fields. In particle accelerators, for example, RF cavities can accelerate […]
