How a Toroidal Transformer Works ⚡ What is a Toroidal Transformer

It only took 2 months scouring the internet and YouTube, but I finally found an actual thorough explanation/tutorial. TY!

Two things. Toroidal transformers are better at constraining stray magnetic flux which can induce noise on surrounding electronic circuits which is why they are commonly used in power supplies of professional audio equipment. If instead of a 50 turn tap on the primary, you instead have two 50 turn coils, you can then have a transformer for both 110v and 220v. Put the coils in series and it becomes 100 turns. Put the coils in parallel and it remains a 50 turn coil with twice the magnetic flux. You see this trick used extensively in older transformer based power supplies.

Manufacturer and designer of toroidal turns tester 3500 A B or C. There still in service today 36 yrs after later. There are times the exact count of turns is critical. I did enjoy the video,nicely done!

this reminds me of a gearbox. The fact that different connections can switch between different changes in voltage and current are sort of analogous to how different gear ratios produce different changes in angular velocity and torque

So pure and natural and correct this design, as Flux lines aren't ever square, but most humming/buzzing/vibrating xfmrs are.

Great video. One of the machines I work on uses one leg of 3 phase 208 on the primary side to produce one output of 120v and a second output of 60 volts from a toroidal transformer. I understand it much better now.

The background music is too much foreground and detracts from an otherwise very informative video. Try it without music, rely on the info you want to get across.

Pls avoid background music. Very irritating. The presentation is superb.

Thank you for the description and especially for showing respect for Nikola Tesla at the end, the greatest discoverer and inventor that walked this earth.

This is so good, very practical, thank you!

Also you have to bear in mind that the Bolt used to secure the toroidal transformer cannot be shorted with the Lid of the housing ( if metal) the bolt acts like a shorted turn & will cause issues. A firm i worked for yrs ago had this problem when we screwed the lid on the power supply & it just touched the securing bolt & created a dead short.

Well done, good demo.

Thank you for making such a useful video.

Thanks for a very clear explanation

A great channel for learning engineering stuff 👍👍

Very nice , clear , illustrated , understandable video , a trillion thanks

i love the way of your explation and the animation

This video is beautiful, thank you

Video is very informative and useful.Thanks

Nice to see how these work. I replace a lot of them on the refrigeration system's we have at work ( Pfannenberg ).
