Engineering - information - Toroids - Why toroidal transformers

1. Space Savings
50% reduction in size and weight would result from using an Trans-tronic toroidal
transformer as opposed to a laminated core transformer.This is achieved without
sacrificing performance whilst ensuring that the end user won't have to
compromise on device size.

2. Improved Efficiency
80% off-load and 30% on-load energy savings result from using a toroidal
transformer, a key issue for all modern business, and in line with new
international legislation on electromagnetic Interference (E.M.I). Trans-tronic’s
savings result from specialised winding techniques and strict quality standards
when sourcing raw materials.

3. Limiting Losses
With specialised design techniques used from the outset, Trans-tronic
Transformers,can offer maximum efficiency with smaller cores and the uses less
copper.This means lower power losses resulting from lower operating
temperatures than standard laminated core transformers.

4. Quieter Operation
Trans-tronic’s selective procedure with regard to raw materials result in no air
gaps in the core. This coupled with highly trained production operators means
that vibrations and noise are kept to a minimum whilst Trans-tronic's products
are in use. Trans-tronic’s transformers are a popular choice for audio applications.
We offer audio grade designs which are manufactured with the highest grade of
varnished dipped steel.

5. Minimisation of Stray field
A copper screen can be included during manufacture resulting in an 80%
reduction in stray field. Thus reducing electronmagnetic interference and
oppurtunities for flux to escape. A metal strip of audio grade steel (GOSS Band)
can further be wound around the finished transformer keeping the radiated
magnetic field to a minimum.
