    Core Transformer
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the specifications and manufacturing of a toroidal transformer core, specifically a 150 x 100 x 60 M4 grade core. The user seeks to modify this core to a size of 180 x 100 x 60 mm by adding an outer diameter of 20 mm. Clarification is provided on the term "slit coil," which refers to a precision manufacturing process that enhances electromagnetic characteristics and reduces eddy currents. The process involves winding selected coils of CRGO electrical steel into loops after slitting, ensuring dimensional accuracy and magnetic properties. The conversation highlights the importance of maintaining the same grade for any additional slits to ensure compatibility with the existing core.

I have 150 x 100 x 60 M4 grade toroid core and same grade slit coil, I need to 180 x 100 x 60 in my design purpose.i would like to add OD 20 mm. my suspicion is a slit that can be added should be on the same grade?

Is 150x100x60 in mm? That's a big toroid! What is it used for? Can you post links to the datasheets of the two cores you are asking about?

And what is a "slit coil"? I'm not familiar with that term yet...
 
Yes, this is medium size toroid core Slit coil means The manufacturing of strips wound cores is a specialized process, which requires a high degree of precision. These cores are manufactured from selected coils of CRGO electrical steel to yield closely controlled electro-magnetic characteristics and dimensional accuracy. Cores are wound as loops (two halves with overlapping ends joined together to form loop in multiple layers of the wound core) after slitting is done as per the required shape depending upon the rating and specification of the transformer on design parameters on the Unicore wound making machines. The Machine automatically stops when the pre-decided dimension is reached. The cores are stress-relief annealed to restore the magnetic properties. The cores are bonded where necessary, to provide increased firmness.
 
So this is a low frequency core made of magnetic steel and the "slit coil" is simply to break up the eddy currents that would exist in the toroid similar to how transformers are made of lamination's rather than a solid block?
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
