Classification of transformers and chokes

Small-sized transformers and chokes can be classified according to various criteria: functional purpose, operating frequency, electrical voltage, electrical diagram, as well as design features.
Functional purpose. This classification characteristic characterizes the main functions performed by a transformer in an electrical circuit. According to this feature, small-sized transformers are divided into power supply, matching and pulse transformers.
Transformer operating frequency- one of the most important parameters, which determines a number of product characteristics, purpose and scope of possible application. On this basis, transformers can be classified into: transformers of low frequency (below 50 Hz), industrial frequency (50 Hz), high industrial frequency (400, 1000 Hz), high frequency (up to 10,000 Hz), high frequency(over 10,000 Hz).
Electrical voltage. Based on this criterion, transformers can be divided into isovoltage transformers, in which the voltage of any winding does not exceed. 1000 and high-voltage, in which the voltage of any winding can exceed 1000 V.
Electrical diagram. Based on this characteristic, transformers are divided into single-winding, double-winding and multi-winding.
Single winding transformer- an autotransformer in which between the primary (input) and secondary (output) windings, except electromagnetic communication There is also direct electric. Such a transformer does not have galvanic isolation.
Multi-winding transformer has one primary and one or more secondary windings. All windings of multi-winding transformers are not electrically connected to each other.
Design features. These are the main ones classification characteristics transformers, which are based on the design of the magnetic core, its configuration and manufacturing technology. The design of the magnetic circuit determines the design of the transformer, i.e. the name of the magnetic circuit determines the design feature of the transformer.
Structurally, the magnetic circuits of transformers and chokes are divided into armored, rod and toroidal (ring). Accordingly, transformers and chokes, depending on the design of the magnetic circuit used, are divided into armored, rod and toroidal.
The magnetic circuits of smoothing filter chokes differ from the magnetic cores of transformers in the presence of non-magnetic (air) gap, which makes it possible to achieve a significantly higher inductance at the same bias current, and also to significantly reduce the degree of change in the inductance of the inductor when the current in the winding changes. Almost the gap between the halves of the magnetic circuit is filled with an insulating (dielectric) gasket; at the same time its size is fixed.
Magnetic core armored transformer is running W-shape; all windings are located on the middle rod, i.e. the windings are partially covered (armored) by the magnetic circuit (Fig. 1, a). V. The symbol of such a transformer includes the letter “Ш”. Armored transformers are characterized by the following advantages: the presence of only one coil with windings compared to rod transformers, higher filling of the magnetic circuit window with winding wire (copper), partial protection from mechanical damage coils with yoke windings of the magnetic circuit.
Magnetic core core transformer is running U-shaped and has two rods with windings (Fig. 1, b). Each rod contains half the turns of the primary and half the turns of the secondary windings. They are connected to each other in series so that the magnetizing forces of these half-windings coincide in direction.
Rod transformers are less sensitive to external magnetic fields, since the signs of the EMF interference induced in the two coils of the transformer are equal in magnitude, but opposite in sign, and therefore cancel each other out. The symbol of such a transformer includes the letter “P”.
Magnetic core toroidal transformer is running round shape, as a rule, by winding tape or from pressed material. The symbol for such a transformer includes the letter “O”.
Toroidal transformers are characterized by the following advantages: lower magnetic resistance, minimal external leakage flux, insensitivity to external magnetic fields, regardless of their direction. However, the technology for manufacturing windings with a completely closed magnetic circuit is very complex, and the cooling conditions for the windings are the most unfavorable compared to other transformers. Toroidal transformers are used, as a rule, at higher frequencies.

Depending on the type magnetic material(sheet or tape) and magnetic core manufacturing technologies, transformers and chokes are divided into plate (laminated) and tape (twisted). Lamellar magnetic cores are assembled from individual plates end-to-end or overlapping. When assembling end-to-end, all plates are placed together and positioned equally; The magnetic circuit consists of two parts that are connected together. When assembled end-to-end, the assembly and disassembly of the transformer is easier. When assembling with an overlap, the plates are alternated so that adjacent plates have cuts with different sides core. Overlapping assembly reduces the magnetic resistance of the magnetic core, but complicates the assembly and disassembly of the transformer.
Armor and rod tape magnetic cores are made, as a rule, from cold-rolled steel and are assembled end-to-end from two separate horseshoe-shaped halves.
Compared to plate magnetic cores, tape magnetic cores allow magnetic induction to be 20-30% higher, there are fewer losses in them, the filling of the volume of the magnetic core with windings is higher, and the efficiency of the transformer is higher.

Magnetic cores for transformers and chokes are manufactured in several types, the main ones being the following:
SHL- armored belt, with the least weight;
ShLM- armored belt, with reduced copper consumption;
SHLO- armored tape, with increased window width;
SHLI- armored belt, with the smallest volume;
ShLR- armored belt, lowest cost;
PL- rod tape;
PLV- rod tape, with the smallest mass;
PLM- rod strip, with reduced copper consumption;
PLR- rod tape, lowest cost;
OL- toroidal tape, with the smallest mass.

Unified power transformers are designed for power supplies for household radio and television equipment and are designed for connection to an alternating current network with a voltage of 110, 127 and 220 V and a frequency of 50 Hz. The range of their powers is wide, and extends from units to hundreds of watts.

Main technical characteristics.

Power transformers provide voltage to the filament circuits of radio tubes and picture tubes, as well as rectifiers for power supplies of various household television and radio equipment.
Multifunctionality of power transformers, various circuit diagrams and the designs of televisions in which they are used have led to their wide variety in electrical and design data.
In accordance with the current regulatory and technical documentation, the symbols of transformers consist of the following elements:
- the first element - the letter T - transformer;
- the second - the letter C - power (ST - power transformer);
- third - a two or three-digit number indicating the power of the transformer;
- fourth and fifth - number and letter - optional elements indicating the development number and design features.
For example. TS-250-2 - power transformer, with a secondary power of 250 W, 2 - serial number of development - the second. TSA-250-2 - means that the windings of the transformer are made of aluminum wire, TSSh - on an Ш-shaped core.
Depending on the design, vehicle magnetic cores are divided into rod (U-shaped) and armored (W-shaped).
Armored magnetic circuits can also be of a widened type and are designated УШ.
The most widely used are rod and armored tape detachable magnetic cores, consisting of two or four C-shaped cores.
They are designated "PLR a*b" and "SLR a*b", where: P - rod; Ш - armored; L - tape; P - indicates the preference for using a transformer of minimal cost; a is the nominal size of the magnetic circuit according to the thickness of the winding; b - the nominal size of the magnetic circuit along the width of the tape.
Example symbol: PLR 21*45.


Walking through the radio market of the glorious city of Simferopol and encountering ruins of factory transformers on the shelves, I suddenly realized that I knew nothing about the parameters of this abundance.
I desperately need information for transformers such as TAN, TN, TA, TPP, OSM, TVK, TS, TNVS, TP, TPG and TPK. There were really a lot of transformers and affordable prices

, but which one of them was “closest in spirit” to me, I didn’t know. I didn’t want to take it at random, I was sorry for the money. The seller also had no information about the windings.

hobby:
In the fifth grade, my father “immersed” me in the world of radio engineering. But I didn’t dive deep))), so superficially, color music in a mafon, running tracks on LEDs, flashing lights in a car for my brother, like police ones. Tape recorders, speakers - in short, everything at low frequencies. When I studied at the university, I serviced “multimedia” devices throughout the dorm. At this stage it all ended... but no, when I bought my first car - Tavria, then I learned about car wiring. I studied it all, knew where which wiring was responsible for what.)))
But he returned to the world on par with auto wiring low frequencies- I started collecting tube amplifiers, which I still continue to do. I'm learning microcontrollers little by little.
