What do you guys where i could find 24V (min. 3A) transformer, i've been salvaging quite a bit and repairing some stuff, but i did not really encounter a 24V transformer, or am i missing something? (EUROPE) |
| james_s:
24V is often used in industrial controls. Sometimes you might find a 12V transformer with dual secondaries you can wire in series. If you're willing to buy new then 24V is readily available, guy could also look on eBay for local items. |

For my current bench supply project, I bought this transformer from a local Jaycar store. The same thing might be available in your country also. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/12V-30V-100VA-6A-Multi-Tapped-Dual-Type-2170-Transformer/254143529997?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20140106155344%26meid%3Dc3c31df6399e4f6e8fdfd27c9fc3d5da%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D7%26sd%3D391912226691%26itm%3D254143529997&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 Although it can be configured for 24VAC, I'm relay switching the secondaries for parallel 15VAC or series 30VAC. Keep in mind that a derating factor needs to be applied when the secondary output is rectified and filtered. I'm expecting that my project will safely supply 4 amps on its low voltage range and 2 amps on the high voltage range. EDIT: I just realized that the primary is 240VAC for this transformer. |

Transformers are quickly being replaced by Switch mode power supplies.Especially in Europe (as I understand) because their not as efficient as a SMPS. So finding them In the junk pile is getting harder. |

I cannot imagine anyone having a problem finding a 230/24 V, 3 A transformer. It's one of the most common sizes around, plentiful everywhere. You're looking in the wrong places. |
