Abstract:
A transformer (10) includes a ferromagnetic core (14); winding structure (12) mounted on the core; electrical terminals (40, 40′) connected to the winding structure; a fast transient mitigator circuit (52) including an impedance circuit serially connected between one of the terminals and the winding structure, and a capacitor connected from the one terminal to external ground. The mitigator circuit is constructed and arranged to reduce a frequency spectrum and magnitude of fast transients. An encasement (16), of an insulating resin, commonly encapsulates the core, the winding structure and at least the impedance circuit of the mitigator circuit.
