CUSTOM POWER TRANSFORMERS

Toroid Core
  • A toroid is a doughnut-shaped object whose surface is a torus. Its annular shape is generated by revolving a circle around an axis external to the circle.

    Our Toroidal Power Transformers are made with tape wound cores. The tape material is made of insulated, high permeability silicon iron, with a typical thickness of 4 mils ( 0.004"). Other material types such as 50% nickel iron alloy, Molybdenum permalloy or supermendor are also available.

    We have different size cores for many different applications - Made up to 7.5KVA. This allows our design engineers to innovate by incorporating the toroidal's small size (as needed), low weight, ease of mounting, and flexible dimensions.

    Our engineers can build to your Specs, or we will provide the engineering solutions for your power transformers needs.

TOROID CORE

Since toroidal cores are wound from a continuous ribbon of steel, stray fields from air gaps are eliminated (there is virtually no air gap.) The windings are evenly wrapped over the entire core allowing the transformer to operate at a higher flux density than in standard transformers. The magnetic flux in a toroid is confined to the core, preventing its energy from being absorbed by nearby objects.

In addition, the windings of the toroidal transformer uniformly encase the core in copper. This results in a natural magnetic screening effect, which in combination with the elimination of the air gap, results in an 8:1 reduction of radiated magnetic field over an equivalent rated EI transformer.

Engineers in a broad range of industries have discovered the performance advantages of our toroidal power transformers. Toroidals provide quiet, efficient operation with very low stray magnetic fields. Their small size and weight support a package that is easy to design into any application. Our custom toroid power transformers have the following properties:
1) lower stray magnetic field
2) less volume and weight
3) less audible hum
4) higher efficiency (perfect for stray magnetic field sensitive circuitry)

All of our toroid power transformers are designed to meet all international safety requirements ( UL, CSA, TUV,...)

We know that you need more than a prepackaged transformer for your unique application. That is why we are committed to providing individualized attention to your needs.
