I have, what is in reality, a Japan Radio amplifier disguised as a piece of medical equipment with a pair of 3-500's. A perfect candidate for a retrofit! The plate transformer is stenciled for 200VAC
Ron, Other than insulation requirements which can generally be ignored (since there should be a lot of headroom) here is what happens. You have a transformer designed for 200 V 50 Hz. This means flu

And... The cooling system, if AC, is most probably designed for 50Hz so should run 20% faster giving hopefully more cooling for the extra power that those extra volts will now get you. Serendipitous

My God Phil, if you are going to make a comment on this reflector make sure at least you spell your words correctly. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Apparently my undergrad studies were in Mary Po

Ron, It's according to what flux density they designed it to run at, and what type of iron the core is. When you raise the primary voltage, the flux density will raise if using the same core. If they

I forgot to ad about the line frequency. If the frequency is higher, like it is here, and you run a 50 Hz at 60 Hz, that will help as the 50 Hz has more iron in it. It should have about 1.2 times mor
