  • Isolation Transformer Makes a Comeback

    Electrical safety regulations throughout the world call for strict isolation between the user and high voltage that can be present if a circuit in the system fails. A transformer is one of the most widely used methods of providing that isolation. However, the emergence of compact, highly efficient switching power supplies, cutting cost, size, weight and cooling requirements, gradually reduced the use of these 50/60-Hz transformers for isolation.

  • Feedback Isolation by Piezoelectric Transformers: A Feasibility

    Signal isolation is needed in power electronics systems that include separate primary and secondary 'grounds'. The feasibility of using a piezoelectric transformer as a galvanic barrier was investigated in this study theoretically and experimentally. The research included the issues of drive, demodulation, bandwidth and common mode rejection. It was found that a small size transformer (2x3mm) could be used effectively to transfer feedback signals from the isolated output of a DC-DC converter to the primary side with a bandwidth of 7kHz when a carrier of 350kHz is used. Wider signal bands can be achieved by applying higher carrier frequencies.
