Whenever I get a transformer, I run up the primary with a variac, watching the
primary current. No load on the secondary. Older transformers, WW2 vintage,
are poor performers, with 110 volt or 220 volt primaries. I happen to have
125/250 volts coming into the house, I have to be careful what I use. K4GF
