AI Thread Summary
Transformers can be designed to operate effectively across a wide frequency range, potentially spanning from kilohertz (kHz) to megahertz (MHz) depending on their construction and the specific application. Broadband transformers can function over several decades, such as from 100 kHz to 10 MHz or 1 MHz to 100 MHz, with specialized designs enhancing their performance. The choice of transformer will depend on factors like impedance and power levels. There is interest in the feasibility of using such transformers in PCB technology, though specific examples may be hard to find. Overall, it is possible to use the same transformer across these frequency ranges with the right design considerations.

Hi to all

is it possible to use the same transformer
in the range of KHZ on the one hand
and on the other the same one for
MHZ?

thanks a lot

Depending on the impedances and power levels, you should be able to get a broadband transformer to work over about 3 decades (like 100kHz to 10MHz, or 1MHz to 100MHz), or maybe more with specialized construction techniques.

Here's the hit list from googling broadband transformer pulse transformer, including some nice design application notes:

What actual frequency range are you interested in?
 
thanks

it is intersting
is there really option to work in decades like you mention
100k then 10 mhz

can it be a coils for PCB technology

i couldn't find some

thanks
 
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'
I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...
