The Toroidal Range

When North American travellers come to England, they are presented with the harmonised European 230V a.c. mains supply, as opposed to 120V a.c. as used in North America. Europeans have the opposite problem, they need a step-up transformer.

The Tacima range of transformers incorporate many design features to produce a superior product.

Features: (Excluding 30VA, 50VA)

• Moulded plastic enclosure to produce an attractive product for the home.
• Double locking safety feature of the enclosure to prevent damage following misuse.
• Full Encapsulation of the Transformer -

  	a)	Improves heat dissipation
  	b)	Prevents ingress of moisture, etc.

• Toroidal Construction -

	a)	Improves heat dissipation
	b)	Prevents ingress of moisture, etc.
	c)	Improved external magnetic field
	d)	Smaller size
	e)	Reduced weight

Whereas traditional laminated transformers have laminated covers, Toroidal mains transformers are wound on an iron ring (Torus) and are becoming more widely used due to improved modern winding techniques.

All step-up and step-down models in our range are auto-transformers, and do NOT provide isolation between the Input and Output.
