Apparatus and method for winding a toroidal magnetic core onto a bobbin for a toroidal transformer

摘要

A toroidal electrical transformer having a low voltage coil, a high voltage coil, and an annular magnetic core is disclosed. The preferred low voltage and high voltage coils are each fabricated in two semitoroidal sections which together form an arcuate elongated passage therethrough. Two bobbin halves are inserted into the semitoroidal sections of the low and high voltage coils and are joined to form a cylindrical bobbin within the arcuate elongated passage. The preferred annular magnetic core is wound onto the bobbin within the arcuate elongated passage substantially from a continuous strip of magnetic material resulting in a toroidal transformer with continuous windings and a continuous wound core. Various components and sub-assemblies are also disclosed along with various apparatus and methods for producing such toroidal electrical transformers, its components and its sub-assemblies.
