Toroidal Power Transformers
offer significant advantages over conventional
laminated transformers:
SPACE SAVING
Toroidal power transformers
take up 50% less space when supplied with
mounting brackets and terminal blocks for
drop-in laminate replacement and up to 64%
less space when supplied with flying leads
instead of terminal blocks. (Many times it
is easier to run the lead from the toroidal
power transformer to the equipment rather
than the reverse) For toroidal power transformers
up to 1000VA, savings can be even greater
as a centering washer and single centre screw
or bolt will usually suffice, eliminating
the need for a mounting bracket.
WEIGHT REDUCTION
Toroidal power transformer can weigh up to
50% less. The toroidal power transformer core
has the ideal shape for producing a transformer
with the minimum amount of material. All windings
are symmetrically spread over the entire circumference
of the toroidal power transformer core, making
the wire length very short. This results in
lower winding resistance, and higher efficiency.
HIGHER EFFICIENCY
Toroidal power transformers are manufactured
with the highest quality materials which allow
a savings of approximately 50% against conventional
laminated transformers, as well as significant
space savings.
ENERGY SAVINGS
The use of toroidal transformers in place
of conventional laminates offers significant
energy savings.
FLEXIBLE DIMENSIONS
Toroidal transformers offer a high degree
of dimensional flexibility compared with conventional
laminated transformers. Since toroidal power
transformer cores are produced in our own
core manufacturing and annealing facilities
at each site, it is possible to make a core
to virtually any diameter and height.
EASE OF MOUNTING
Standard toroidal power transformer mounting
for sizes up to 1000VA is with a single metal
centering washer and mounting screw or bolt
making installation quick and simple. Other
popular methods include:
NOISE REDUCTION
Because toroidal power transformer cores are
manufactured from a continuous strip of high
grade steel, there are no air gaps and loose
sheets of steel or laminations to cause vibration.
This stability is further enhanced by the
copper windings of the toroidal power transformer
which tightly surround the entire circumference
of the core.
LOW STRAYFIELD
A toroidal transformer will generally offer
a reduction of 8:1 in magnetic interference
levels compare with traditional frame style
laminate types.
PRICE AND VALUE
Highly developed production techniques coupled
with material savings resulting from the more
efficient design mean that today's toroidal
power transformer is extremely cost-effective
when compared with similarly rated conventional
units. When taking into account the other
hidden benefits of the toroidal power transformer,
the advantages become very significant. Generally,
with toroidal power transformers the larger
the size the lower the cost when compared
to traditional types.
