Help decoding transformer pinouts
« on: September 02, 2024, 08:54:24 pm »
I was attempting to dejunk my collection of junk and came across this transformer. I am not sure how to decode the pin legend printed on the face. I would appreciate any help with this.

Simply.
Numbers in the circles are the terminals looking directly at that face.

The numbers listed on the left are the terminals, shown winding start to finish.

Numbers on the right are the voltages that correspond to the associated terminals.

Seems to be an HF transformer of some type it stating 1500c/s

on pins 12-26-5 produce 19-0-19 but which pins are the primary terminals to produce that voltage.

I think you would use one of 115V windings (or parallel them for more power) or connect the two 115V windings in series if you have 230V power.

You have to be mindful of the phasing.

Actually, upon closer inspection I'm not sure you can connect the two 115V windings in parallel as they might already be in series. Check to see if 29 and 11 are connected. In fact, it would be a good to check the resistance between all of the pins to see if any of the windings are connected.

Beware the 1500c/s legend.

 :-//

If it's a specialist device it won't like being plugged into a wall outlet!

I've seen 400Hz ones before, for aircraft use, but 1500 is odd.

Bung it on Ebay, someone is looking for one!

I also don’t think it’s useable at mains voltage, maybe it has been part of an ancient inverter.
The high voltages and the 6.3V aim at something with tubes, maybe a transmitter
