joehpj Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) I was going to build a balanced isolation transformer. But I had difficult to choose form either EI or toroid. Regardless of price and size, which theoretically will be better (in performance)? I was planning to build around 2KVA. Does anyone have experience?

kevin gilmore Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 all the equi=tech are torroids torroids will have less magnetic flux leakage, but will have a turn on thump probably easier to find the EI versions surplus on ebay for far less than you can have one made for.

Craig Sawyers Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 This is the main supplier in the UK. Up to 5kVA. Toriodal. http://www.airlinktransformers.com/balanced_power_supply/conditioning_balanced_power_supply/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EI flux is directional, so often easier to avoid. And they have lower bandwidth meaning they act as noise filters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Sawyers Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 That is true, but lower bandwidth is a result of greater leakage inductance, which means more radiated interference. It is not clear that there is a perfect choice - toroid or EI (or R-core) there are compromises with all of them in different areas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
