Advantages of Toroids for Industrial Applications
Toroids are lighter, smaller, and more efficient than other transformers, offering many benefits to a variety of applications. The shape of the core prevents stray magnetic flux and leakage flux, resulting in less electromagnetic interference (EMI) to adjacent components. General Transformer manufactures custom transformers according to strict quality standards to ensure products of the highest caliber.
Additional benefits of toroid transformers include:
- Smaller size and lighter weight than conventional laminated designs
- Low form factor, flat design
- Single bolt mounting
- Lower losses and higher efficiency
- Reduced audible noise
- Inherently low magnetic flux leakage
- Shielded designs readily produced to meet low leakage current or EMI requirements
Applications of Toroidal Power Transformers
Toroids are the best solution for compact applications that need space-saving transformers. They work well in electronic circuit applications involving computers, inverters, video, and audio. Because of their low leakage and ease of shielding, toroidal transformers are frequently used in medical devices and equipment, as well as:
- Power Supplies
- Battery Chargers
- Inverters
- AC Filter Inductors (Reactors)
- DC Smoothing Inductors (Chokes)
- Autotransformers
- Isolation Transformers
Considerations for Custom Toroidal Transformer Designs
Our toroids are custom-designed for specific applications. Their available ratings depend upon your power requirements, maximum voltages, currents, and frequency. We can produce toroidal isolation transformers with ratings from 20 VA to 4 kVA for 50/60 Hz operation, autotransformers to 8 kVA, and transformers for 400 Hz operation to 20 kVA. If your project is not in those specification ranges, check out the other transformer types we manufacture.
