    • Torus Transformer Technology

    Torus Power PIUs are transformer-based products using toroidal technology developed over 25 years by Plitron Manufacturing. www.plitron.com 

    NBT power transformers substantially attenuate differential and common mode noise, eliminating requirements for external circuits such as low-pass filters.

     

    (Low Noise) technology eliminates audible noise in the power transformer regardless of line conditions, including DC offset and overvoltage. Noise is quantified and specified to NC (noise criterion) curves. Torus products are about NC 10.

     

    WHAT'S INSIDE

    Transformer used in Torus units, pictured below, features triple-screens for ultimate noise rejection. Also note metal mounting band that "suspends" the transformer inside the cabinet, further reducing mechanical noise.
     

    TORUS AVR MODEL

    Toroidal transformers are typically half the size and weight of conventional transformers. But, Torus uses transformers which are twice the mass of standard toroids to provide extremely open high power. Torus Power transformers  have sufficient reserve power capability to provide all the current needed for high power systems.

     

    SERIES MODE SURGE SUPPRESSION

     

    Torus PIUs use series mode surge suppression which absorbs surges more than two volts above peak line voltages. Torus surge suppression meets IEEE endurance standards of 6000V, 3000A with 1000 repeats. Torus Technology allows for the replacement of a series inductor with the Torus isolation transformer. The transformer has lower stray fields and higher current capabilities than the typical series inductor.

    • Protects against spikes and surges starting 2volts above peak line voltages! 
    • Withstands up to 6000 volts, 3000 amps with 1000 repeats
    • No failure-prone MOVs
