ABSTRACT
The small size and inherent superior electrical characteristics of a toroid has made it the first choice for many Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). However, the lack of knowledge regarding the toroidal coil winding equipment is still hampering the growth of toroid as the first choice for transformers, inductors and other electrical applications. Additionally, due to Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown situation, small scale companies are lacking skilled manpower for the high precision task of toroidal core winding and taping. Although the machine is readily available in the market, the cost is still very high. Toroidal core winding machine is an equipment used for the purpose of winding toroidal cores which is used in various electrical machines such as current transformers, power transformers, isolation transformers, inductors and chokes, auto transformers, etc. This project aims to develop a low-cost toroidal winding machine with a user-friendly digital interface for selection of winding parameters as per the user input. The winding machine developed in this project is efficient and reliable with high-speed performance and negligible error. © 2022 IEEE.
