High Frequency Transformers
Osborne High Frequency Current Transformers operate at frequencies higher than 50/60 Hertz. Their purpose is to reduce high frequency system currents to lower values that are appropriate for instrumentation and/or protection circuits. They have been designed to meet specified current ratios, and burden impedance at a specified transformation error. One area of unique Osborne expertise is in designing for phase shift when high frequency current transformers are to be used for power measuring applications.

AC Load Simulating Inductors
Osborne designs our AC Inductors to provide the desired inductance and to perform effectively with the dissipation characteristics presented to the circuit. Dissipation characteristics depend on circuit current and operating frequency. The Osborne design approach is unique to the extent that we design for frequency effects. The resulting inductors deliver superior performance.

Auxiliary Potential Transformers
Osborne Auxiliary Potential Transformers (Aux PT’s) are used in utility and commercial industrial power systems. Osborne works with our clients to identify the safety advantages of using auxiliary potential transformers (Aux PT’s) to establish protection schemes for high voltage equipment. Aux PT’s step the voltage down to safer levels, normally below 600 V AC.

DC Load Simulating Inductors
Osborne has developed a wide range of DC load simulation inductors that are known for the transients they produce. Osborne DC load simulation inductors are unique and innovative because they are engineered to produce a precise time constant current transient during the current charge cycle.Another distinguishing feature of our load simulation inductors is that they produce a precise voltage transient during the current discharge cycle. The resulting test circuit can be used to accurately replace real loads in a variety of circuit simulation applications.

Quasi Square Wave Constant Voltage Transformers
Osborne Quasi Square Wave Constant Voltage Transformers are used to regulate output voltages for applications that have varying input voltages. When used with a rectifier conversion circuit, these units provide an elegant design approach to voltage regulation. Osborne achieves this innovative approach by partnering the constant voltage transformer with an auxiliary resonant capacitor winding. The result is a unique (though time honored) technology that offers reliability, performance, and cost advantages over other styles of voltage regulation.

Harmonic Trap Inductors
Osborne designs harmonic trap inductors to work in conjunction with capacitors in power systems to prevent specific line-frequency harmonics from flowing back to the power source (point of common connection). This power quality design approach prevents harmonic currents from flowing to the main facility power system and/or to the utility power system. The Osborne system also reduces unnecessary power losses and power-system pollution.

Air Core Inductors
Osborne designs our Air Core Inductors to realize their advantage of high linearity. We also work with our clients to identify and mitigate any potential disturbances that could result from electromagnetic fields created. The air core design approach is known to create strong electromagneticfields. Osborne develops electromagnetic circuit models, if necessary, to ensure that our clients build effective and reliable circuits.

Filament Transformers
Osborne designs and produces high impedance and unregulated Filament Transformers. An unregulated filament transformer supplies a specified voltage and current to the filament of an electron vacuum tube. High impedance filament transformers are designed around a tungsten tube filament. Osborne often works with our clients to increase the life-span of their vacuum tubes through the use of a regulated voltage supply.

High Impedance Transformers
Osborne high impedance transformers are used to step-up, step-down and isolate voltages in single phase and three phase circuits. A properly designed high impedance transformer can be used an an equivalent to an isolation transformer connected in series with an inductor. The high impedance characteristic may be employed as a current limiting feature in both the primary and secondary circuity.

Saturable Reactor Inductors
Osborne Saturable Reactors are designed to provide a variable output voltage through the use of variable impedance connected in series with a constant impedance load. Each saturable reactor’s impedance is determined by the application of DC power to a control winding. As the level of power supplied to the control winding is increased, the saturable reactor becomes more saturated. This reduces the impedance of the AC gate winding, and increase the amount of the supply voltage that is transferred to the load. Conversely, as the power is reduced to the control winding, the reactor becomes less saturated, the gate winding has more impedance and less of the input voltage is provided to the output impedance. This approach provides excellent quality, reliability, and control when designed to match the requirements of a specific application.

Auto Transformers
Osborne often recommends Auto Transformers in situations where reducing physical size of the transformer is advantageous. Auto transformers offer size advantages when compared to equivalent isolation transformers. Auto transformers provide lower levels of regulation than the equivalent isolation transformer. Osborne helps our clients accommodate for the loss of regulation while achieving the physical size (and cost) advantages of auto transformers.
