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

There are many reasons why toroidal transformers are used instead of similarly rated units. A toroid meets the modern-day requirements for low magnetic interference field transformers in a small package. Read More

When working with toroidal transformers, it is essential to know about inrush currents. When a transformer is switched on, an initial current surge is sent to the devices, which is called inrush currents. Reducing initial currents will help electronics to function properly. Read More

The toroid’s circular shape is what primary makes it such an efficient transformer.

Materials that are magnetized get divided into two classifications: hard and soft. Hard magnets are frequently called permanent magnets because their magnetism is permanently retained through specific manufacturing processes. Read More

Curie temperature can be defined as the temperature at which materials will lose all their magnetic properties. Read More

A horizontal through hole mount is commonly used as a holder or platform that is used to mount toroids on their side. Read More
