    source for prototyping quantities of transformer core laminations in USA?

    I need to prototype an EI, EE, UI or similar core and I haven't been able to find a source in the USA that provides prototyping quantities of steel/iron transformer laminations. I know there were sources long ago but I think they may have dried up. For instance, magneticmetals.com just emailed...

    whats the best boost pfc feedback loop explanation you've seen?

    Im teaching myself about boost pfc and while I've seen several datasheet/app note diagrams showing how the gain modulator/error feedback system is schematically, I've not yet seen a more intuitive explanation that perhaps has more diagrams showing how the feedback loop actually works to convert...

    Why arent bar magnet fields described in Oersteds or Ampturns/Length?

    Educating myself on magnetic fields. I was expecting to find that commercially available permanent magnets would have their strength EDIT: **net practical effect** measured in the same units as electromagnets, i.e. amp/turns per length or Oersteds. But instead it seems like they are measured in...

    the world of inductors and me...newbie questions!

    So I am trying to increase my level of understanding of inductors, and I've been reading and will be continuing to read the zillions of papers online about them. The thing is, I have to make sure my understanding of ALL inductors is consistent. For instance, when I'm reading something thats...

    14VDC to 24VDC @ 100A..how cheap/simple can we get?

    Yep its a welder. But powered by automotive electrical system instead of mains. So lets say 14V input. Output needs to be constant current at about 100A, with a maximum voltage of around 24V. The voltage needs to be limited to 30V absolute worst case for safety. Amperage does not need to be...

    n00b looking for some recommendations please?

    Hello! This forum is very exciting, I have always wanted to design an SMPS, but I never had a good reason to spend all the time and money needed to do it. But now I have a great reason! I have a CNC mill which currently runs only at 7000 rpm. However, the manufacturer says if I can provide...
