The maximum power theorem, better known as the maximum power transfer theorem, is an essential tool for ensuring successful system design. Put simply, this theorem states that the maximum power that can be transferred from source to load is 50%, which occurs when source impedance is exactly matched to load impedance. The theorem is not as simple as it seems at first glance, however, and can be [...]
An Introduction to Impedance Matching Transformers
In order to keep your equipment running smoothly, avoid unplanned downtime, and properly maintain equipment, you need to first ensure that your electrical systems are in check and free of common problems. Electrical impedance, in particular, can hinder the performance of your equipment and cause major, system wide issues.
Differential Mode vs. Common Mode Chokes
Noise and other electromagnetic interference (EMI) can pass through electronic equipment as a result of coupling, conductively, via the equipment wires. When this noise occurs on a single line, it adds to the carried signal and is referred to as differential mode noise.
Leakage Current Testing Requirements for Medical Grade Transformers
Across all types of industries and applications, transformers must meet specific performance and safety guidelines. But medical grade transformers, in particular, are subject to very stringent regulations in order to protect patient safety and well being.
Triad’s Business Continuity Management System is ISO 22301 Certified
Benjamin Franklin once said “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”
What to Consider When Constructing Power Inductors
Power inductors are found in every application that requires current control — everything from small household appliances to electronic devices to the country’s power grid. For this reason, inductors are among the most important magnetic components in the industry.

Held at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, Fla., from March 26 to 30, APEC will feature various educational seminars, networking [...]
The Basics of Inductors
A truly versatile component, inductors are used across many industries to create impedance, modulate current flow, store energy, or some combination thereof.
Looking Back: Triad Magnetics at MD&M West
The 32nd annual MD&M West trade show — North America’s largest medtech conference — took place at the Anaheim Convention Center from Tuesday, February 7 to Thursday, February 9.
Triad Magnetics to Attend DistribuTECH 2017
An annual event, DistribuTECH is the premier conference and exhibition for all matters electric power transmission and distribution. Every year, the event draws expert presenters, panelists, and exhibitors to address the constantly adapting technologies that help to move electricity from its source at a power plant, through both the transmission and distribution system, and ultimately to homes [...]
