Question:

Pulse Transformer timing?

I have been reading about pulse transformers and i am curious if there exists a pulse transformer that would take 1 pulse/second or even less and convert to very low voltage high current. If not, would it be possible to make one? Any info is very appreciated! Thx!

Answer:

Pulse transformers can be wound to any turns ratio that is desired. That being said pulse transformers have small cores and therefore handle small amounts of power. You can find cores on those old mother boards that are no longer in service and junk computer power supplies also have a couple of cores. These toroids were normally used as filter inductors to remove spikes from DC or low frequency lines. You can easily rewind them for pulse transformers.
