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.
There are many benefits that can be found in toroid coils, which include:
- A toroid contains a magnetic field inside itself, which in turn creates a series of concentric circles. Outside the toroid, the field will be zero.
- A Toroid is more efficient at creating needed inductances than solenoids.
- Toroids are smaller than solenoids, which make it easier to build them into preexisting designs.
- A Toroid has limited amounts of inductive interactions with other surround components.
Because of the benefits listed above, toroids are frequently found being used in a large variety of industries, which include
- Music (instruments and audio playback)
- Medical devices
- Telecommunications
- Lighting
- Transportation
- Home appliances
Toroids
Our talented team can help custom design toroids for your business’s specific needs. It is possible to buy D.I.Y transformer winding kits, but please note that winding toroids are not simple or easy. Let us do all the necessary calculations to ensure that you get optimal toroids that are guaranteed to work. Call us for more information.
