triad transformer
triad transformer
(OP)
Hello Everyone
I am currently working on a project whereby I am building a circuit to drive 2 CFL's using a small DC battery.
However, part of the circuit requires a 176.1mH triad transformer and I am not sure what a triad transformer is and how it differs from an ordinary transformer.
I tried to google this, but it only showed companies manufacturing transformers.
Can someone please explain what a triad transformer is and how it differs from an ordinary transformer?
Thanks

RE: triad transformer
The obvious question is why a 'triad transformer' would be specified as an inductor unless its reactance is a key part of circuit operation, and why there is no information about its turns ratio. Do you have a circuit diagram that might help people see what the purpose of this component is?

Sometimes, a manufacturer's name is used instead of the correct/generic name. I think that happened in this case.

ABB calls their transformers with such core construction as TriDry Transformers

Firstly, my apologies for the very late reply. I was trying to remember the title and also find the video I was referring to in my original post. I finally managed to track it down and this is the URL:

In it the guy was talking about a high inductance triad transformer 1:1 showing on the circuit diagram it has a rating of 176.1 mH.
This is still leaving me a little in the dark as I am not sure what a triad transformer is? And I would also like to know if I can use an inductor with a rating close to 176.1 mH or will that not work?

RE: triad transformer
I just want to say a huge Thank You to everyone for all their help. I did what was suggested and found the transformer made by triad online.
I will be placing my order and hopefully have my project off the ground very soon!!
Thank You
