Hi friends.
I would like to know the loss (power/energy) in a air-core pulse transformer of my own fabrication.
What we are looking at is this:
I'm measuring voltage with two identical 100:1 voltage dividers 100MΩ∥22p/1MΩ∥2.2nF.
I'm measuring current with two uncalibrated but identical Rogowski coils, I suspect the error in current magnitude could be ±10% but in any case the error will be the same on both coils.
Here are my measurements from both primary and secondary side of the transformer.
X-axis = nanoseconds
The voltage is being stepped down, but the current is almost identical on both side, which is puzzling to me. I would have expected the current to increase on the secondary side as voltage is stepped down.
So how do I go about determining the transformer loss?
