The voltage gradient between the ground flange and the high-voltage center conductor is much larger compared with the voltage gradients inside the transformer or external lines coming into the ...

What happens when you connect a charged capacitor to an inductor? You get an oscillating circuit. Here's how it all works.

Technical Terms Capacitor Voltage Transformer (CVT): A device that employs capacitive voltage dividers to step down high voltages for measurement and monitoring in power systems.

IEEE C57.13 standard requirements for instrument transformers ANSI C93.1 requirements for power-line carrier coupling capacitors and coupling capacitor voltage transformers (CCVT) Above standards ...

The transformer's secondary is rather special, too, designed by Tesla to react quickly to a sudden energy spike and, most importantly, to concentrate voltage at one end as a standing wave.

Normally, when you want a low DC voltage from the AC line, you think about using a transformer of some kind. [RCD66] noticed that an AC monitor meter must have some sort of power supply but had no … ...

A traditional linear power supply was a very simple device: besides the transformer, you’d have a rectifier, a capacitor, and a three terminal regulator if it was a particularly fancy circuit.

Lightweight, small-size, and high-power-density power converter systems, which use only switches and capacitors in their power stage, have no need for transformers or inductors in their design ...

The leakage inductance of transformers looks like a series inductance with the ideal transformer winding, and that will generate voltage spikes.
