W.I.C.C. Ltd. has,
for the last 30 years, made transformers. Little
transformers, big transformers, cute ones and ugly
ones. They've been bare, taped, varnished, dipped, cupped,
split, clamped, barred and some have even gone out with jackets on,
cooling water jackets to be specific. One thing they all have had in common ... they were transformers, 99% of them
toroidal.
The other thing in common between them all ... is that they work. 99.89% of the time, when they leave our facility,
they work, first time, every time.
There is very little glory in
transformers, or in making them. They are not all that
high tech and although we use computers in their design and have some
of the newest equipment available to manufacture them, the actual
building process has remained essentially unchanged for many
years... You wrap wire around a core, some number of times
and you have a transformer. They are not cute (though to us, some
are) and there is probably no one, besides us, who would find it
interesting to collect them. They are often buried deep within some
enclosure, only to be forgotten. Few people can
think of all the things a transformer makes possible, but when
it doesn't work, most people's lives are affected, in one way
or another.
