Abstract
A three-phase transformer configured to transform a three-phase voltage. The transformer includes first, second, and third toroidal transformers. The first toroidal transformer is configured to transform a first phase of the three-phase voltage. The second toroidal transformer is electrically connected to the first toroidal transformer. The second toroidal transformer is configured to transform a second phase of the three-phase voltage. The third toroidal transformer is electrically connected to the first toroidal transformer and the second toroidal transformer. The third toroidal transformer is configured to transform a third phase of the three-phase voltage.
