Why Do I Need an Inductor?

Generally, most electronics need inductors (also called chokes). Similar to a transformer, an inductor creates and stores a magnetic field as current passes through the wire. Unlike a transformer, which can have multiple primary and secondary windings, an inductor typically only has one winding. A common mode choke is a special type of inductor that consists of two windings in opposite directions. Inductors can be used to:

•    Store and transfer energy
•    Filter harmonics from line frequencies

Applications include:

•    Energy storage
•    Solar/wind energy inverters
•    Inductive filter circuits (in collaboration with capacitors)
•    Signal processing
•    Switching power supplies

Advantages of a Toroidal Inductor

•    Quicker cooling than a traditional laminated inductor
•    Lower electromagnetic interference (EMI)
•    Near complete magnetic field cancellation (lower stray losses)
•    Lower winding resistance, Ω (shorter length per turn)
•    Compact size (less volume and weight)

Our team of engineers can design a custom 50/60 Hz toroidal inductor to meet your inductance, current, size and mounting requirements.
