secondary-reset-voltage-limit-three-row-scan - Electronic Circuits XV: Transformers and Coupled Inductors Step by Step

Balanced primary reset rows can still exceed a secondary pulse ceiling. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

Reset row 1

Primary reset is balanced first. Secondary turns 1 give secondary on-pulse 3 V against a 6 V ceiling, so margin is 3 V.

m=3\ \text{V}\quad\text{pass}

Reset row 2

Primary reset is balanced first. Secondary turns 2 give secondary on-pulse 6 V against a 6 V ceiling, so margin is 0 V.

m=0\ \text{V}\quad\text{pass}

Reset row 3

Primary reset is balanced first. Secondary turns 3 give secondary on-pulse 9 V against a 6 V ceiling, so margin is negative 3 V.

m=-3\ \text{V}\quad\text{fail}
