    Trying to ID this "inductor"?.

    It is been used as a ballast for a 120v UV Ligtht. It has only two cables, one cable is connected to power source and the other to one of the 4 prongs of the UV bulb. the second prong of the bulb is connected to power negative cable, the remaining two prongs of the bulb are connected to the...

    Confused over an easy plot about inductor current

    Need some insight about a plot found in the Fundamentals of power electronics second edition book. I don't really understand why it is written like this. Left side \( \frac{I}{V_{g}/R} \) can be rewritten to \( \frac{1}{D'^{2}} \) so it is basically "just" duty cycle. The book states that the...

    Great tool for transformer calculation

    Hi guys, I just found a great website that lets you easily calculate the parameters of a transformer or inductor, given the core parameters and material. I was trying to choose some suitable core to make a flyback for geiger counter, and this really came handy instead of doing a bunch of...
