Embark on serious high-voltage and high-frequency experimentation with our Flyback Transformer (AC), a pivotal component for any enthusiast. Paired with our Half-Bridge Amplifier, this transformer is essential for exploring the realms of plasma physics and resonant circuits.
Key Features:
- No Built-In Diode: Unlike typical DC flyback transformers which come with a built-in diode, our AC Flyback Transformer is designed without this feature. This allows for more versatile applications, especially in AC circuits. By removing the diode, the transformer can efficiently handle alternating currents, making it ideal for experiments requiring a pure AC output. This design enhances the transformer's adaptability and performance in a wider range of high-voltage experiments.
- Adjustable Core: The transformer features a detachable core, allowing you to adjust the gap on both the primary and secondary sides. This adjustability is crucial for fine-tuning the resonance point for peak performance and implementing current limitation in short-circuit scenarios.
- Highly Customizable Winding: With 2400 turns on the secondary, encased in epoxy for durability, and an unwound primary, you have the freedom to wind it yourself. This customization grants you maximal control over the transformer's turns ratio and parameters.
- Resonant Frequency Range: Achieve resonance between 1kHz to 50kHz, depending on the gap setting. At these frequencies, the voltage output can reach 30kv peak-to-peak.
- High Voltage Output with Precision: When used with our Half-Bridge Amplifier, the transformer can generate nearly perfect voltage sine curves, reaching over 20kv peak-to-peak.
Rated for 300W, it's crucial to monitor the transformer's temperature under heavy load to prevent overheating. Additionally, if you purchase this transformer together with one of our Half-Bridge Amplifiers, it includes a wire for winding around the primary core four times, which can be connected directly to the monitor port of the Half-Bridge. This feature allows you to monitor the magnetic field in the transformer core during operation, adding a layer of insight into your experiments.
Looking for Higher Performance? While this transformer is an excellent choice for voltages up to 15kV, users looking to experiment with atmospheric plasma, generate plasma arcs several centimeters long, or work with higher voltage levels should consider our next-generation Flyback Transformer. This advanced model offers higher performance, supporting voltage outputs beyond 25kV and enhanced capabilities for plasma generation.
