The Principles and Benefits of Using a Sliding Core Transformer
The principle of operation for a sliding core transformer is based on the concept of “sliding.” The transformer consists of two coils, one of which is connected to the primary side, and the other to the secondary side. The coils are separated by a ferrite core, which is affixed to a moveable arm. The arm is moved across the coils, changing the inductance of each coil. This results in a change in the output voltage of the transformer. The arm is moved by a voltage regulator or control circuit, which is connected to the primary and secondary sides of the transformer. When the voltage is increased on the primary side, […]
