Proje Özeti

Toroidal wound cores from strip magnetic materials particularly grain-oriented 3%SiFe are widely using in many applications. The most common type is the wound strip toroid, which comprises a narrow strip of electrical steel wound as a tight circular spiral with a rectangular cross section. They are often preferred to laminated cores, as they require little processing after winding. The steel strip is wound, annealed to remove winding stresses, insulated and finally the required electrical windings are wound around the toroid. Although the method of assembly is basically very simple variation in magnetic performance can arise if progressing parameters, such as slitting, strip winding, annealing and insulation are not properly controlled.

            The factor, which is traditionally of greatest importance in the performance of toroids, is the magnetising current, which is determined by the magnetic field required to reach a special flux density. The apparent power is related to this but the real power or iron loss of the toroid is also important for many applications. In the toroid the material operates under better condition. The flux is mainly directed along its rolling direction, there are no corners, no air gaps exist, good annealing can eliminate harmful stress effects and good core winding gives a high stacking factor. These factors contribute to the low loss and high permeability of toroids, which combined with low noise, and low construction costs give them wide applications.
