HF step up transformer
Jamie Morken - 2008-05-19 11:24:00
Hi,
For a step up transformer with an input voltage of 60VDC to 125VDC, and
a fixed output voltage of 420VDC, at 350watts, what is the most
efficient transformer type to use? I would like to use a flyback but I
don't know if I can get to 92%+ efficiency with this.
cheers,
Jamie

If I want a source of 150-160VDC is there any technical reason why I

2009-02-08 11:29:00
I have a few modems laying around and noticed, (especially on the
lower cost ones), that there isn't even a transformer on the PCB for
interfacing to telphone line.
All of them are using DAA chips but I would assume that a transformer
would almost be mandatory in getting part 68? approval.
...using step-down transformer as step-up
2009-02-10 22:25:00
At first blush, it seems like you should be able to use a power
transformer as either step-down or step-up, simply by feeding the
input into either the primary or secondary. However, is this really
the case? For example, consider one of those pole transformers that
normally step down, say, 12k...calculating saturation current of transformer

saturates by decreasing the frequency of the primary voltage while

Currently, the power inductors feel like 30C. Nice @~100W transfer.
