PDi Bi-Toroid Transformer (BiTT)(US Patent Pending Application Number US17162537)
Overview: The Bi-Toroid Transformer (BiTT) is a new transformer design that now allows all transformers to deliver power to a load with the same input current that is required on no-load and to always operate with a near no-load power factor while on-load regardless of the load power factor.
Background: The BiTT differs from conventional transformer designs that have primary and secondary windings that are magnetically linked together.
The BiTT has two secondary windings and an alternative flux path route which magnetically de-links the primary from the secondary coils. This design allows the secondary coil's BEMF induced magnetic flux to provide the on-load flux magnitude increase which is required to deliver power to a load. This allows the BiTT primary to operate constantly and very efficiently at a no-load input current level whether off or on-load and for the secondary coils to self-power themselves with their own BEMF induced flux. The BiTT primary coil consumes almost pure Reactive Power on no-load and the BiTT Power Factor does not change dramatically when placed on-load (more than 90% less than conventional transformer designs). This is due to the fact that the secondary coil BEMF induced fluxes do not enter the high reluctance primary core and remain in the lower relucatance outer toroid ring.

Conventional Transformer Principle of Operation:
Conventional transformers have a primary anda secondary which are magnetically linked bya ferromagnetic core. The coupling coefficientfor a conventional transformer between the primary and the secondary is 1 and the couplingcoefficient between the secondary and the primaryis also 1.
This mutual coupling coefficient is important because it ensures that the primary coil's magnetic flux is transferred to the secondary coil as efficiently as possible and vice versa.
When the conventional transformer is placedon-load, current flows in the secondary coilto the load. This current induces a BEMF magnetic field into the primary core. This secondary BEMF induced magnetic flield (or flux) couples directly back into the primary coil because there is a mutual coupling coefficient of 1 between the secondary and primary coils.
The magnitude of secondary induced magnetic flux entering the primary coil's core reduces the primarys coil's impedance (AC resistance) and as a result more source current is able to flow into the primary coil.
This increase in primary current also increases the primary's magnetic flux magnitude delivered to the secondary coil which is critically important for the secondary to deliver power to the load. Without the on-load flux magnitude increase the secondary voltage would collapes on-load and no power would be delivered to the load.
The problem with said required primary current increase is that it comes at a very high price due to primary heating, resultant losses in transformer efficiency and reduced transformer life span.
Critical and costly design steps must be taken to ensure that the transformer primary does not overheat, burn up, catch fire or explode.
Hyperphysics
Critical operational load restrictions must also be observed to allow conventional transformers to deliver useful output with minimal loss due to heat.
All of these factors lead to restrictions in conventional
transformers effectiveness across variable operational ranges and
require many different transformers to accommodate different load
conditions if transformer efficiency and operational protection is
to be maintained.HyperphysicsRS

HyperphysicsHyperphysicsBiTT Principle of Operation and Design:
The Bi-Toroid Transformer design empolys two secondarycoils and the coupling coefficient between the primary and the two secondary coils is 1.
On no-load the BiTT operates like any conventional transformeralthough the primary flux is splitand shared between the two secondaries.
The Power Factor is ideally zero onno-load with pure Reactive Power being consumed in the BiTT primary.
The BiTT differs operationally froma conventional transformer when placed on-load.
The secondary BEMF induced magnetic flux couples from one secondary coil to the other via the low reluctance outer flux path route and avoids the high reluctance primary core route.
This flux diversion technique;
Allows the primary no-load input current to be maintained and to not increase under load.
Allows the primary heat losses to be minimized at no-load levels even with short circuits on each secondary.
Allows the BiTT to operate with a no-load Power Factor while on-load with purely resistive loads on the secondaries.
BiTT Magnetic Diode:
The BiTT is essentially a magnetic diode and only allows power delivery in one direction. The coupling coefficient between the two secondaries is 1 whereas the coupling coefficient between the secondary coils and the primary is 0.
The BiTT completely isolates primary coil from the load with regards to on-load current magnitude increases and power factor variations.
Magnetic Diode for Generators: When employed between an electric generator and a load the BiTT also isolates the generator from the load allowing the generator to deliver Reactive Power to the BiTT primary while the BiTT secondaries deliver Real Power to the load.
Magnetic Diode for Motors: When placed between a motor and the grid the BiTT allows the motor to operate with a near zero Power Factor as well.
Conventional Transformer BiTT On-Load On-Load Load Power Factor = 1 Load Power Factor = 1
In head to head comparison between a conventional transforer and a BiTT on the same load the BiTT Power Factor is reduced by 92% while the primary current remains unchanged from no-load to on-load and in some cases primary current is even reduced when placed on-load.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjHKjmHrSWM&list=UU6ZPiUObgaWAyeV3SmUH3mg
