 | | The main difference between a flyback transformer and a regular transformer is that a flyback transformer is designed to store energy in its magnetic circuit, i.e., it functions like a pure inductor, whereas a regular transformer is designed to transfer energy from its primary to secondary and to minimize stored energy. |
 | | The origin of the term, 'flyback': --------------------------------- In the U.S. (possibly all of North America), the transformer that generates the high voltage in a TV, monitor, or other CRT based equipment, is called the 'flyback' or 'flyback transformer'. |
 | | The term 'flyback' probably originated because the high voltage pulse that charges the CRT capacitance is generated by the collapse of the magnetic field in the core of the transformer during the short retrace period - when the electron beam in the CRT 'flies back' to the start of a new scan line. |
