Feb 15, 2020 at 11:50 comment added Neil_UK Yes, the distinction I was looking for, and it answers mot of the misunderstandings people have, is that in a forward transformer, load current flows in primary and secondary at the same time, flux is due to the difference which can (should) be very small so high ur, no need for energy storage, winding L is shorted out by the primary drive. In a flyback, current flows in primary or secondary but not both, flux is due to the full winding current, high energy storage is required, primary is open so Ls is not shorted. Only non-intutive thing now is how low ur gets good energy storage.
