Other Transformer Types / Applications | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Three Phase / Polyphase Transformer | In polyphase (3-phase) transformers, the three primary windings are connected together and the three secondary windings are connected as well. | ||
Single Phase Transformer | These are transformers that operate with single phase voltage. | ||
Power Transformer | Power transformers convert one voltage to another at high power levels. Power transformers are used in electronic circuits and come in many different types and applications. Power transformers are sometimes considered to be those with ratings of 300 volt-amperes and below. These transformers normally provide power to the power supply of an electronic device, such as in power amplifiers in audio receivers. | ||
Distribution Transformer | Distribution transformers are pole-type transformers that supply relatively small amounts of power to residences. They are used at the end of an electrical utility’s delivery system. Distribution transformers are used in electrical power distribution and transmission systems. These types of transformers have high power, or volt-ampere, ratings. The power rating is normally determined by the type of cooling methods the transformer may use. Some commonly-used methods of cooling include using oil or some other heat-conducting material. Ampere rating is increased in a distribution transformer by increasing the size of the primary and secondary windings; voltage ratings are increased by increasing the voltage rating of the insulation used in making the transformer. | ||

Core Type | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Laminated Core | Laminated transformers, or E-I transformers, contain laminated steel cores insulated with a nonconducting material such as varnish. They are formed into a core to reduce electrical losses. | ||
Other | Other unlisted or proprietary core types. | ||
Toroidal Core | Toroidal transformers typically consist of copper wire wrapped around a cylindrical core. This design prevents the magnetic flux that occurs within the coil from leaking. | ||

Mounting / Form Factor | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Chassis Mount | A chassis-mounted transformer has tabs to facilitate screwing it down. | ||
Chip Transformer | Chip transformers have a form factor of an integrated circuit (IC) chip. They are typically manufactured using thin-film technology. | ||
Dish / Disk Mount | A simple rubber washer and metal disk or dish secures the transformer to the chassis or board. There is usually a through-hole in the middle of the disk that allows for a screw to hold the transformer down. | ||
H-Frame | H-frame mounting is used in applications where high vibration or shock is present. It is an "H" shaped frame that the transformer sits on. The frame is secured to the chassis or board. | ||
Modular Jack | Magnetics incorporated into the RJ-45 form factor ensure high common mode noise immunity, while maintaining signal integrity. | ||
Pad-Mounted | Pad-mounted transformers are mounted on the ground, sitting on a concrete (or other material) pad. They are normally step-down transformers used in power distribution systems to step down the voltage from the high voltage terminals of an underground distribution system to the low voltage of the end user’s needs. | ||
PC / PCB Mount | Any of a variety of signal transformers mounted on PCBs. They can either be surface-mounted or through-hole configurations, using the soldering method to hold the transformers. PC-mount transformers offer a small footprint for the design engineer looking to measure sensor current or voltage on a computer board. Some applications for PC or PCB transformers include sensing current overload, ground fault detection, metering, isolated current feed-back signal in switch mode power supplies, motor current load / overload, lighting, switch controls, ultra-sound current, high resolution sonar current, and isolated bi-directional current sensor with full wave bridge. | ||
Pole-Mounted | Pole-mounted transformers are installed on top of poles and are normally used as distribution step-down transformers servicing houses located close by. | ||
Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary transformer mounting techniques. | ||
