The basic transformer is two coils of wire wrapped around a metal core. An alternating current is applied to one of these coils (called the primary), which creates a magnetic field in the metal core.

A 503-line Basic program provides numerical and graphical information to aid you in selecting optimum core and wire types in transformer designs. Most transformer designers agree that copper loss ...

These transformers use a magnetic core of modest size, and unit cost is reasonable. The basic transformer uses a Fair Rite toroid (type 597700601), which has a nominal outer diameter of 0.825 in., a ...
