TRANSFORMERS

Laminated core

This is the most common type of transformer, widely used in

electric power transmission and appliances to convert mains
voltage to low voltage to power electronic devices. They are
available in power ratings ranging from mW to MW. The
insulated laminations minimizes eddy current losses in the
iron core.

Toroidal

Doughnut-shaped toroidal transformers save space

compared to E-I cores, and may reduce external magnetic
field. These use a ring shaped core, copper windings
wrapped round this ring (and thus threaded through the ring
during winding), and tape for insulation.

Variable autotransformer
By exposing part of the winding coils of an autotransformer, and
making the secondary connection through a sliding
carbon brush, an autotransformer with a near-continuously
variable turns ratio can be obtained, allowing for wide voltage
adjustment in very small increments.
Induction regulator

The induction regulator is similar in design to a wound-

rotor induction motor but it is essentially a transformer whose
output voltage is varied by rotating its secondary relative to the
primary—i.e., rotating the angular position of the rotor. It can be
seen as a power transformer exploiting rotating magnetic fields.
The major advantage of the induction regulator is that unlike
variacs, they are practical for transformers over 5 kVA. Hence,
such regulators find widespread use in high-voltage laboratories.

Polyphase transformer

For polyphase systems, multiple single-phase transformers can be

used, or all phases can be connected to a single polyphase
transformer. For a three phase transformer, the three primary
windings are connected together and the three secondary windings
are connected together.

 INDUCTORS

Air Core Inductor

Ceramic core inductors are referred as “Air core inductors”. Ceramic is

the most commonly used material for inductor cores. Ceramic has very
low thermal co-efficient of expansion, so even for a range of operating
temperatures the stability of the inductor’s inductance is high. Since
ceramic has no magnetic properties, there is no increase in the
permeability value due to the core material.

Iron Core Inductor

In the areas where low space inductors are in need then these
iron core inductors are best option.These inductors have high
power and high inductance value but limited in high frequency
capacity. These are applicable in audio equipments. When
compared with other core indictors these have very limited
applications.

Ferrite Core Inductor

Ferrite is also referred as ferromagnetic material. They

exhibit magnetic properties. They consist of mixed metal
oxide of iron and other elements to form crystalline
structures . The general composition of ferrites is XFe2O4.
Where X represents transition materials. Mostly easily
magnetized material combinations are used such as
manganese and zinc (MnZn), nickel and zinc (niZn). Ferrites
are mainly two types they are soft ferrites and hard ferrites.
Iron Powder Inductor

These are formed from very fine particles with insulated particles
of highly pure iron powder. This type of inductor contains nearly
100% iron only. It gives us a solid looking core when this iron
power is compressed under very high pressure and mixed with a
binder such as epoxy or phenolic. By this action iron powder
forms like a magnetic solid structure which consists of distributed
air gap.

Laminated Core Inductor

These core materials are formed by arranging many number

of laminations on top of each other. These laminations may
be made up of different materials and with different
thicknesses. So this construction has more flexibility. These
laminations are made up of steel with insulating material
between them.

Bobbin based inductor

These are wounded on cylindrical bobbin so these are

named as bobbin based inductors. These are mainly
used for mounting on printed circuit boards.

Toroidal Inductor

Wire wounded on core which has ring or donut shaped surface.

These are generally made up of different materials like ferrite,
powdered iron and tape wound etc. This inductor has high
coupling results between winding and early saturation.
Multi-layer Ceramic Inductors

The name itself indicates that it consist of multi layers. Simply by adding additional layers of
coiled wire that is wound around the central core to the inductor gives multi-layer inductor.
Generally for more number of turns in a wire , the inductance is also more.

Film Inductor

These uses a film of conductor on base material. Thus

according to the requirement this film is shaped for
conductor application. Film inductors in thin size are
suitable for DC to DC converters that serve as power
supplies in smart phones and mobile devices. The Rf
thin film inductor is shown below:

Variable Inductor

It is formed by moving the magnetic core in and outside

of the inductor windings. By this magnetic core we can
adjust the inductance value. When we consider a ferrite
core inductor , by moving its core inside and outside on
which the coil is wounded , variable ferrite core inductor
can be formed.
Coupled Inductors

The two conductors connected by

electromagnetic induction are generally referred
as coupled inductors. We already seen that
whenever the AC current is flowing in one
inductor produces voltage in second inductor
gives us mutual inductance phenomenon.

Molded inductors

These inductors or molded by plastic or ceramic

insulators. These are typically available in bar and
cylindrical shapes with wide option of windings.

SOLENOIDS
AC Laminated Solenoid
An AC laminated solenoid is famous for the amount of force that
can be performed in their first stroke. They can also use a longer
stroke than a DC solenoid. They are obtainable in
several different configurations and ranges. These types of
solenoids will produce a clean buzz when they are being used.
DC C–Frame Solenoid

A DC C–Frame solenoid uses only a frame, formed like the

letter C, which is covered around the coil. This kind of
solenoid has an extensive range of different applications.
Even though they are famous in a DC configuration, they
can also be designed to be used with AC power.

DC D–Frame Solenoid

A DC D–Frame solenoid gears have a two-piece frame

that is covered around the coils. These are used in
several different applications like industrial applications.
Like the C–Frame, these solenoids can also be designed
in AC alternatives, for applications when the properties of
an AC solenoid are more attractive than a DC solenoid.

Linear Solenoid

This kind of solenoids is more familiar with the most

people. These are capable of using a pulling or pushing
force on a mechanical device and can be utilized for a
variety of metering tasks.

Rotary Solenoid

Rotatory solenoid is a good example of mechanical force which can be used in different methods
to make easy of an automatic control process and quite easy to make life easier. In this solenoid,
 there is the similar coil and core design, though it is
somewhat changed. In a rotary solenoid, a disc is used
instead of the solenoid being a simple device with a core
and coil. The body of the solenoid is lined up with the
grooves and ball bearings are used to make easier
motion.

 Toroidal Inductors/Common Mode Chokes
Toroidal inductors consist of insulated coil and are commonly found in electrical circuits. The wire
is often made from powdered iron or ferrite. This type of inductor is used at low frequencies when
large inductances are needed. Toroid inductors provide higher inductance per turn than similar
sized solenoid cores.
