VPM36-2780

Power Transformers Overview

The Triad Magnetics VPM36-2780 is a medical-grade toroidal power transformer with a 100 VA rating. It features primary windings for 100V, 120V, 220V, and 240V inputs. The secondary output provides 18V at 5.56A in parallel or 36V at 2.78A in series configurations. Designed for chassis mounting, this unit meets UL and CE safety standards. Typical regulation is 8.7%, with a maximum temperature rise of 50°C.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Medical-grade construction compliant with UL and CE safety certifications
• Toroidal core design optimized for efficient magnetic coupling
• Dual secondary winding configuration supporting parallel or series voltage outputs

Power Transformers Applications

• Power supply units for medical diagnostic equipment
• Chassis-mounted industrial control systems
• Low-noise audio amplifier power stages

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific secondary configuration required (parallel 18V or series 36V) against the target application circuit before ordering. Confirm that the input voltage range matches the available utility power in the deployment region. Ensure the chassis mounting footprint accommodates the physical dimensions of the toroidal core to prevent mechanical interference during installation.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this model when strict isolation and low electromagnetic interference are critical requirements. The toroidal geometry offers superior efficiency compared to laminated cores. Consider the 100 VA capacity to ensure adequate headroom for peak loads. Verify thermal management capabilities if the operating environment exceeds standard ambient temperatures.

Power Transformers Part Context

This component belongs to the VPM series of toroidal medical transformers from Triad Magnetics. The series is characterized by high reliability and compliance with international medical electrical equipment safety standards. Similar models in the lineup vary primarily in volt-ampere ratings and secondary voltage configurations while maintaining consistent mounting and insulation characteristics.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 100 VA rating and identical primary/secondary voltage specifications. Verify that substitute components maintain the same UL and CE certification status for medical applications. Physical mounting compatibility and lead length should be assessed to ensure seamless integration into existing assemblies.
