I've searched the rest of the forum including other threads that asked the same question but can't find any information about where to source the round cylindrical enclosures for a toroidal transformer. I know that these are called "deep drawn enclosures" and all the manufacturers that I've contacted are accustomed to huge quantity orders and want a king's ransom for one or two units. Where are people locating these at a reasonable cost? I'm located in the U.S. Thanks.
Antek make covers for their transformers that may suit http://www.antekinc.com/lview.php?d[]=3
How do you secure the transformer inside? Then how do you mount the whole thing on the chassis?
Here is what I did.
For fixing the vessel, I put 3 holes on the bottom near the perimeter and put nut-bolts to the chassis bottom. The torroid being curved at the outside has gap at the bottom.
I just placed it in the container and put some support with heat tolerant materials.
For fixing the cover, I had these straight ss plates with two threaded holes that were used to support transistors onto the heatsink. Just put one hole on the vessel and another on the lid.
