![]() ![]() It won’t be an ideal transformer, that is only possible in a simulation, but we still call it a transformer.įigure 1: The Two Types of Magnetics ComponentsĪs we will see, when you try to build an ideal transformer, there are extra inductive components that must be added to fully explain its operation. ![]() If you have two or more windings, or even just a tap on the single winding, you have a transformer. If you have one winding on a core, you have an inductor. There are just two types of magnetics available in circuit theory – a simple inductor, and an ideal transformer. We have seen this applied to inductor design, and now we are going to turn our attention to the second magnetic element – the transformer. There is no substitute for building and iterating parts, it is the only way to truly gain knowledge and experience. There seem to be endless intractable equations, obscuring the elegant simplicity of ‘how to start a design’. Secondly, you have the rest of the engineering world who are deeply intimidated by the magnetics. They are usually seasoned engineers, or technicians, who know that there are simple and straightforward design methodologies to ensure success. First, you have those who know how to build a part. I have observed over the years that there are two categories of people when it comes to designing magnetics. ![]()
