Those that already use toroidal transformers recognized the advantages these devices have over other similarly powered devices. Designers have a wide array of transformer options on the market, so how does one decide? Each transformer has its trade-offs. The most important considerations to make when making a choice are:
- Cost
- Size
- Shape
- Power Range
- Circuit Characteristics
- Efficiency
Toroids are small, but they do not sacrifice power as a means of reducing size. Typically, as things get smaller, they become less powerful; toroidal transformers do not suffer from that problem. They can be placed into most existing structures without adding excessive weight. Toroids are lightweight, which is a bonus for engineers. Some of the other reasons designers use toroids includes:
- Toroid produce low noises because they have a tape-wound core. Their compact design makes the most efficient use of space. Other similar transformers produce a constant hum.
- Toroids are an excellent option when dealing with issues of EMI and compatibility. Toroids are known to produce less stray magnetic energy than other transformers.
- Toroids are highly customizable and affordable. They are made to meet the unique and strict demands of designers and engineers.
