GENERAL CPS® 20KHZ OPERATING PRINCIPLE TRANSFORMER PRINCIPLE VAHLE CPS® 20kHz technology provides electrical energy without any a long loop and places the secondary winding onto an open ferromagnet- mechanical contact. It utilizes the induction principle similar to a trans- ic core. This allows relative motion of the two windings. The transmission former‘s primary/secondary transfer. In a transformer, the primary and characteristics are optimized by using a high transmission frequency of secondary windings are on a common, closed ferromagnetic core. CPS 20kHz technology, on the other hand, „stretches“...
