VTX-146-1000-140

Overview

The Vigortronix VTX-146-1000-140 is a 1000VA toroidal transformer featuring a single primary winding rated for 230V AC input. It provides dual secondary outputs, each delivering 40V AC. The unit utilizes an open construction design with a circular magnetic core and wound wire configuration. Physical dimensions are specified as 71mm in height and 167mm in width/length. This component serves as a passive voltage conversion element within power distribution systems.

Feature Summary

• Toroidal core geometry for efficient magnetic flux containment
• Dual independent secondary windings for split voltage requirements
• Open frame construction suitable for custom mounting integration

Applications

• Audio amplifier power supplies requiring balanced dual rails
• Industrial control systems utilizing 230V mains input
• Custom power distribution units needing isolated secondary outputs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage tolerance and insulation class requirements against the target equipment specifications before procurement. Confirm that the physical footprint of 71mm by 167mm fits the designated enclosure space. Ensure the mounting hardware supports the weight associated with a 1000VA toroidal core. Check for any regulatory compliance markings required for the destination market.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a high-capacity 1000VA transformation is necessary from a standard 230V source to dual 40V outputs. The toroidal design offers advantages in size and noise reduction compared to laminated cores. Consider the open construction if thermal management or custom bracketing is part of the system design. Evaluate the current capacity of the 40V secondaries against the load requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Vigortronix VTX-146 series of toroidal transformers. The series generally encompasses various power ratings and voltage configurations. The VTX-146-1000-140 represents the 1000VA capacity variant within this product line, distinguished by its specific dual 40V secondary output configuration.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference tools may identify parametrically similar parts. Verify that any substitute matches the 1000VA rating, 230V primary, and dual 40V secondary specifications exactly. Ensure physical dimensions and mounting hole patterns are compatible to avoid mechanical redesign.
