| How toroid transformer dissipates the heat generated by inner windings ? |
| (1/1) |
| BravoV:
As its buried and encapsulated deep in the middle, and also sometimes with another layer/s of inter winding isolation added ? When it comes to heat dissipation, does the common EI core has more advantage ? As it has much more openings and exposed slits. Scope of discussion is mains transformer, say common step down. |
| Zero999:
Toroidal transformers tend to be more efficient than EI core transformers, so there's less heat to deal with. |
| T3sl4co1l:
Yes, the core and inner windings have to conduct their heat through the outer layers. A good reason for transformers to be impregnated with varnish, to reduce thermal resistance. Toroids also have more surface area than shell type transformers. Tim |
