Toroidal transformer / Ring transformer / Voltage transformer

Are you looking for a compact, quiet and highly efficient transformer? Our toroids, also known as ring transformers, are manufactured in Sweden at our facilities in Uusimaa. They are an effective choice for applications where low noise, small size and stable operation are important.

The standard range includes low-voltage toroids from 5 VA up to 30 kVA, with rated voltages up to 1000 V on the primary side.We also manufacture voltage transformers with accuracy classes from class 0,2.

The toroidal construction provides a compact design and very low losses compared to traditional transformers. Contact us for a quote.

TECHNICAL DATA

  • Power range: 5 VA – 30 kVA
  • Primary voltage: up to 1000 V
  • Temperature class: B

Autotransformer/economy-connected transformer

An autotransformer, also called a spars-coupled transformer, has a common winding for both the primary and secondary sides. Unlike a regular isolation transformer, a large part of the power is transferred directly from the supply network, while the transformer mainly handles the voltage difference between input and output.

This means that the autotransformer can be built significantly smaller than a corresponding isolation transformer, especially when converting between nearby voltages, such as 400–500 V or 400–690 V. The result is a compact, cost-effective solution with high efficiency, low weight and low losses.

Mechanical work with electrical equipment.

Benefits

  • Compact design 
  • Lower weight 
  • High efficiency 
  • Lower losses 
  • Lower cost 
  • Particularly effective at small voltage differences

Common uses

  • Adaptation between 400 V / 500 V / 690 V networks 
  • Industrial power systems 
  • Machinery and production equipment 
  • Motor starters and drive systems 
  • Pump, fan and compressor systems 
  • UPS and backup power systems 
  • Shore power and marine installations

Compatible systems

  • Three-phase system 50/60 Hz 
  • Single-phase system 
  • TN-S / TN-C system 
  • IT systems depending on application 
  • Systems where galvanic isolation is not required

Since the primary and secondary sides are electrically connected, the autotransformer does not provide galvanic isolation between the networks. It is therefore mainly used where a common reference and ground are acceptable.

Swedish-made ring transformers

All our toroids are manufactured locally in Uusimaa, which provides short lead times and the possibility of customization to your needs.
