Advantages of Toroidal Transformer As Power Transformer
Toroidal transformers were not used in power transformers very early, but toroidal transformers can quickly break the design habits of many engineers. Based on the transformer industry, it must have its special advantages. What are the advantages of toroidal transformers as power transformers? How are they better than ordinary transformers?

As a power transformer, with the same core cross-sectional area, the wire diameter of the toroidal transformer can be thicker and can withstand a larger current. Ordinary transformers can also be used as power supplies, but if a larger power ordinary transformer is used as a power transformer, its volume will be larger and the heat dissipation will be worse than that of the toroidal transformer. If a voltage regulator is added, the burden on the transformer will be increased. Therefore, ordinary transformers are more suitable for power amplifiers with smaller output power.
For example, adjustable power transformers. Generally speaking, adjustable power supplies are more often unloaded or lightly loaded. The static current of toroidal transformers is very small, which means that it saves power. In addition, toroidal transformers are less noisy and quieter, which is suitable for laboratory use. The power transformers of the same power directly short-circuit the secondary. The current of square transformers is much larger than that of Advantages of Toroidal Transformer As Power Transformers, so toroidal transformers are more resistant to burnout.
