PS: Actually I think 'ring coil transformer' would be a better term, but there are quite a few hits out there for 'ring current tansformer'.

Resonant transformer


Explanation:
Hi Andrew, I tried thinking outside the box and I came up with the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonant_transformer

As you read the description you will notice it says "Resonant transfer works by making a coil 'ring' with an oscillating current"

Also, I can see the connection between resonancy and a ring...

agree  Casey Dovale: Right you are Jack: after literal translation and Google, ring current/coil transformer would seem to be the right option.
