Vertical and Horizontal Toroid Mounting Options

There are so many different reasons why electronic engineers choose custom toroids over other similar power transformers. There are many benefits and advantages these devices have, so they are amongst the most used power transformers for electronic devices. They are highly customizable, inexpensive to produce, and produce low noise. These devices are also easy to mount in existing structures. There are two methods of installing toroids: horizontal and vertical mounts. Below, we want to take some time to define the two types of mounting. If you have more questions, you should not hesitate to reach out to our talented team.

Use Custom Toroids to Increase Electronic Efficiency

Toroids are an essential part of many different electronic devices. These power transformers offer many advantages that are not found when using similarly powered EI-type transformers.  No two toroids are the same, so it is important to recognize that these transformers should not be used interchangeably. Custom toroids are the best way to ensure that all your application needs are met.

What is the Function of a Toroidal Transformer

A toroidal transformer is often seen as the best design for a power transformer. These devices are made from magnetic sheet metals that are characterized as having low loss levels without sacrificing high induction saturation. Heat treating a toroid allows the devices to reach high saturation levels (up to 16,000 gauss). A toroidal transformer concentrates the magnetic flow within the core, and because of no intermediate metal parts, vibration is greatly reduced. Toroids are highly sought-after products because they allow for reduced noise from electronics. In other similarly powered transformers, noise is created by magnetostriction. A toroid eliminates magnetostriction, which also helps the dissipation of heat within the electronic equipment.

Should I be Using Power Toroidal Transformers

Transformers are integral parts of electronic devices because they transfer power between two separate parts of an electrical circuit. A transformer creates isolation while varying voltage and current. Power transformers are used when the need for high-efficiency power transfer is a requirement. Power transformers are designed to either operate non-continuously or continuously while at full capacity. These specialized transformers, like traditional transformers, are based on concepts of electromagnetic induction. All power transformers contain two magnetically coupled coils (primary and secondary windings).

The Top Four Reasons to Use Toroidal Transformers and Custom Coil Winding

You can quickly spot a toroidal transformer because of its unique, 360-degree design. Because of how a toroid is constructed, it often seems sensible and reliable for building electronic circuits and transformers. When compared to similarly powered transformers, toroids are commonly the best option. There are many reasons why toroidal transformers are a better option than a conventional transformer.

Popular Types of Magnetic Core Used in Toroidal Transformers

Not all toroids are created equal. Each toroid offers many benefits that you cannot achieve using standard transformers, but that does not mean that a toroid should be used interchangeably. From custom coil winding to core material selection, your custom design toroids must meet exact specifications for application and size.

Do Toroids Work in Industrial Applications

Toroidal transformers are used because they are small without sacrificing the power of effectiveness. Although hidden inside devices, these transformers are found in a wide range of industries and applications. It is easy to notice a toroid because of its signature doughnut shape. Toroidal transformers offer distinct benefits not found in transformers of similar size. As a result of their size and performance characteristics, it is easy to see why toroids and custom coil winding is the ideal choice for electrical and industrial applications.
