# Transformer Optimizer Web App

A Flask-based web application for optimizing transformer designs and running manual simulations.

## Pages

### 1. Optimizer (http://localhost:5000/)
Automatically finds the best tap configuration and input voltage to maximize efficiency.

### 2. Manual Simulation (http://localhost:5000/manual)
Directly specify tap settings and input voltage to see performance results.

## Features

### Optimizer Page
- **Interactive Sliders** for all parameters:
  - Load resistance (5Ω to 10kΩ)
  - Target power output (1W to 100W)
  - Operating frequency (100Hz to 50kHz)
  - Core loss (0W to 5W)
  - Maximum flux density (0.05T to 0.5T)
  - Maximum secondary voltage (10V to 500V)
  - Input voltage range (min/max)

- **Real-time Optimization** using the transformer optimizer

### Manual Simulation Page
- **Tap Selection**: Choose primary and secondary taps from dropdowns
- **Input Parameters**: Set input voltage and frequency with sliders
- **Load Conditions**: Configure load resistance and core loss

### Both Pages Display:
- Efficiency (color-coded: green >90%, yellow >80%, red <80%)
- Tap selections with turn counts
- All voltages and currents
- Separate copper losses for primary and secondary
- Flux density and turns ratio
- Input and output power

## Installation

1. Install dependencies:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Running the App

```bash
python app.py
```

Then open your browser to: http://localhost:5000

## Configuration

Edit `app.py` and modify the `get_default_transformer()` function to match your transformer specifications:
- Tap positions
- Core area
- Turn counts
- Resistance per turn for each segment

## API Endpoints
