Abstract

Core support blockings (10, 12) used to support a toroidal transformer (2) within a transformer housing (4) includes a pie-shaped body (28) having a second end (32) secured to the transformer core (14) using an adhesive (41). The body has adhesive flow regions, typically countersunk holes (42) passing through mounting flanges (38, 40) extending laterally adjacent the second end of the body. Electrical windings (26) can be wound on first end of the mounting flanges so to help mechanically secure the body to the core. A mounting stud (46), or other mounting element, is used to secure the transformer to a support bracket (8). Together the support bracket and core support blockings are used to support the transformer within the transformer housing.
