MR16 halogen lamps normally operate from a low-voltage AC source typically generated by a low-frequency AC transformer or by a high-frequency electronic transformer. In most MR16 applications, the ...

This redesigned series of electronic transformers complies with the new UL standard (2108) for low-voltage lighting systems. Using an enhanced “auto reset” function, the transformers are protected ...

Like many passive component markets, magnetic component manufacturers face challenges in shrinking component size and weight while also delivering higher performance. Inductors and transformers are ...

Solid state transformers (SSTs) represent a transformative shift in power electronics, replacing conventional electromagnetic transformers with semiconductor-based devices that offer enhanced ...

These days, homeowners are clamoring for pendants that hang from the ceiling, moody undercabinet lighting, recessed lighting and outdoor path lights that illuminate the edge of the front walk. Of ...

The use of low-voltage lighting systems has become increasingly popular over the past several years. In fact, low-voltage halogen and xenon lighting systems can be found in almost any setting — from ...

The future of electronic devices lies partly within the 'internet of things' -- the network of devices, vehicles and appliances embedded within electronics to enable connectivity and data exchange.

The mains of the world were constructed as a giant copper causeway to transport electricity from the generating station to our homes and factories. Today's problems on the mains were unknown a few ...

A more efficient transformer can pay for itself many times over during its 25-year lifespan The transformer plays a key role in an electrical system’s efficiency and power quality, yet 95% of buying ...
