【Summary Description】The toroidal transformer is made of copper wire winding. Although copper wire has good flexibility and high mechanical properties, it can still break due to improper operation or usage. So, when the copper wire breaks, can we reconnect it? What should we do?
The toroidal transformer is made of copper wire winding. Although copper wire has good flexibility and high mechanical properties, it can also break due to improper operation or use. So, when the copper wire breaks, can we reconnect it? How should we operate?
1. Can reconnect by oneself: If the toroidal transformer is made by the manufacturer's staff and there are insufficient or excess turns of the coil, we can reconnect the copper wire directly. First, completely dismantle the copper wire, and then use copper wire of the same diameter to re-wind.
2. Not recommended to reconnect by oneself: If the consumer causes the copper wire of the transformer to break during use due to improper operation, it is not recommended to use a soldering iron for welding. Why? Because welding the copper wire without experience can easily scratch the wire and damage its insulation. A welded toroidal transformer can easily experience overheating, short circuits, and other adverse phenomena. Moreover, if the length and diameter of the copper wire are not exactly the same when reconnecting, it can cause voltage and current deviations.
If the consumer welds by themselves, they need to disassemble the transformer, re-wind the copper wire, and wrap it with polyester film. If there is no corresponding equipment for operation, the difficulty will be greater than expected, and the time cost will also be high. If the toroidal transformer is damaged due to non-human reasons and is still within the warranty period, we can contact the manufacturer from whom we purchased it for repairs, or we can customize or buy a new transformer with the same parameters.
