VPT100-10000 datasheet by Triad Magnetics

VPT100-10000 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance?
  Triad Magnetics recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with the transformer centered on the board, and the primary and secondary windings on opposite sides of the board to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Can I use the VPT100-10000 in a high-temperature environment?
  While the VPT100-10000 is rated for operation up to 130°C, Triad Magnetics recommends derating the transformer's power handling by 1.5% per degree Celsius above 100°C to ensure reliable operation in high-temperature environments.
• How do I ensure proper creepage and clearance distances in my design?
  Triad Magnetics recommends maintaining a minimum creepage distance of 3.2 mm and a minimum clearance distance of 2.5 mm between the primary and secondary windings to meet safety standards such as UL and IEC.
• What is the recommended wire gauge for the primary and secondary windings?
  Triad Magnetics recommends using a minimum wire gauge of 20 AWG for the primary winding and 22 AWG for the secondary winding to minimize power losses and ensure reliable operation.
• Can I use the VPT100-10000 in a high-vibration environment?
  While the VPT100-10000 is designed to withstand moderate vibration, Triad Magnetics recommends securing the transformer to the PCB or chassis using a suitable adhesive or mechanical fastener to ensure reliable operation in high-vibration environments.
