Power system design engineers commonly turn to custom toroidal power transformers and inductors because of all the benefits the tool offers. Each aspect of the production process enhances the capabilities and characteristics of a toroid and transformer winding.Read More
There are many essential properties of iron powder when it is used as a toroid core material for an inductor that is used in switch-mode power supplies. Engineers must contemplate the different DC output choked, the power factor correction inductors, the differential-mode line filter inductor, and the high frequency resonate inductor.Read More
Those that use these devices already know of the benefits they offer when compared to similarly powered transformers. Toroids are small in size, and so they are often used when engineers need a transformer that boasts low magnetic interference. The shape of a toroid is ideal for maximizing operational efficiency. If you want to save money with toroids on day one (until the end of their life), you should strongly consider using toroidal transformers.Read More
Without a core, motors and transformers do not function properly. The core used to build step-up/step-down transformers is typically composed of several materials. Materials are chosen to fulfill the needs of specific applications. Cores directly affect the function of transformers. Read More
A toroidal transformer is used for a multitude of different electronic applications. The rule of thumb is that if housing can fit a toroid, then the device can use a toroid. In many situations, a toroid is ideal, but it is not also practical for specific applications.Read More
When you have a choice between a toroid and other similarly powered transformers, what is the right choice to make? Commercial and home devices (TVs, computers, audio systems) require small transformers of various core shapes. As devices get smaller and thinner, smaller transformers become more and more critical. Read More
Making the proper considerations for inductor design is an integral part of designing toroids. Aside from the intended use of the device, there are a series of important factors that must be considered when specifying and designing an inductor.Read More
When you need to meet the modern-day needs for small, low magnetic interference field transformers, you should look no further than toroids. A toroid comes complete with a nearly ideal physical construction. A design engineer using these devices should expect excellent and reliable performance. A toroid is known to be small when compared to conventional transformers. A toroid can have less than 50% of the weight and size of other transformers.Read More
Learning about toroidal transformers is essential for understanding how they should be built and used. In this article, we want to take the time to address some critical design considerations and frequently asked questions. Read More
When comparing toroidal transformers and traditional transformers, toroids are typically known to have more benefits than their counterparts. Toroids have doughnut-shaped cores that are constructed from ferromagnetic materials (ferrite, laminated iron, and iron powder). Read More
