VARS – The Vange Amateur Radio Society 1 A presentation by: Steve, G0KVZ 30 th July 2009
VARS – The Vange Amateur Radio Society 2 Early power generation and distribution was using d.c. See:
VARS – The Vange Amateur Radio Society 3 P = I R 2 The distribution of power at low voltages leads to large losses
VARS – The Vange Amateur Radio Society 4 time Amplitude Scientists started to experiment with a.c. electricity
VARS – The Vange Amateur Radio Society 5 The price of copper makes large gauge cables costly Large gauge cables would require substantial pylons
VARS – The Vange Amateur Radio Society 6 a.c. generation and distribution soon established the transformer

VARS – The Vange Amateur Radio Society 8 ? A number of variations, but two basic types of device
VARS – The Vange Amateur Radio Society 9 Simple bobbins are easiest to wind

VARS – The Vange Amateur Radio Society 11 Fly winding techniques
VARS – The Vange Amateur Radio Society 12 Whiteboard description
VARS – The Vange Amateur Radio Society 13 Standard transformers need the core to be applied after winding

VARS – The Vange Amateur Radio Society 15 Ferrite is an alternative core material
VARS – The Vange Amateur Radio Society 16 “C” Core transformers
VARS – The Vange Amateur Radio Society 17 Each pass through the centre of the core counts as one turn
VARS – The Vange Amateur Radio Society 18 Magnetic flux Leakage flux Secondary Winding Primary Winding Secondary Winding Negligible leakage flux due to lack of gaps in torus. Similarities and differences
VARS – The Vange Amateur Radio Society 19 Toroids often require more work in terminating & finishing
