What do you think of when you think of coils? Is it an item with a doughnut-like coil that has magnetic insides? This is not to be confused with a slug-turned coil. A slug-turned coil has a cylindrical shape, and it has adjustable iron and ferrite cores (toroids are less adjustable). Read More

Toroid inductors are most commonly used to gain high energy efficiency when low inductances are required. These devices can frequently be found in home appliances like air conditioners, computers, refrigerators, and TVs. Read More

The more you know about toroidal transformers and how they work, the easier it will be to acquire pieces that fit in specific devices and complete unique applications. We want to take some time going over some questions we get asked when helping with transformer winding.

Toroidal transformers are frequently used because of the many benefits they offer. Some of the most discussed boons are high efficiency and significant energy savings. When compared to other similarly rated transformers, a toroid can be up to 50% smaller in size and weight than conventional transformers. Read More

Toroidal transformers are used in many modern-day applications. Without a toroid’s signature characteristics, many everyday applications would not perform as well as they do. A toroid has an almost ideal physical construction, and so users can expect nothing less than excellent and consistent performance. Read More

A transformer and an inductor act and look similar in construction, but the two devices are different enough where they cannot be used interchangeably. Despite similarities, the two have varying elements that are used in separate applications. To better understand the distinctions between the two, we will be giving a broad outline of both.Read More

Toroidal transformers are frequently used for electronic applications as a tool to step down/up voltage. The devices can also be used for isolating electronic equipment from stray voltage sources. Read More

A toroidal transformer is a doughnut-shaped device that contains a magnetic core that is made of ferromagnetic materials (iron powder, laminated iron, and ferrite). Read More

There are several reasons why using toroidal transformers in your electronic devices is practical and smart. The benefits of using the devices far outweighs any of the negative issues. Below, we will go over the top few reasons why using toroids is the smart decision to make.Read More

Inductors either cause or induce currents to be created in nearby coils. Two of the most common form of inductors are solenoids and toroids. Inductors are based on Faraday’s law of inductions, which is that a changing magnetic field can influence voltage in near-by wires. Read More
