I have a transformer question that someone might be able to shed some light on. Last fall I picked up 3 similar power supplies at the flea market at MIT. I believe they were designed to support some

Hi Jeffrey What you have there is a classic ferroresonant Constant Voltage Transformer. The capacitor and second primary winding are resonant at mains frequency Stabilisation is achieved by core satu

I believe you have answered your own question, Jeff. Transformers of this general type, with a tuned third winding were built by Sola, Raytheon and probablly others. Usually they were used to regulat

Hi Jeff, What you have is a ferro-resonant transformer. That was used quite extensively in battery chargers for the marine industry. It provides a fairly good regulation with wide variations in load

Its a "ferro-resonant" transformer. Its designed to be a regulating transformer and under little or no load actually puts out a square wave. The core operates in a saturated mode, these transformers

Thank you! for the many replies to my questions pertaining to the transformer / AC capacitor combination. The output is indeed a square wave that modifies a bit with changing load. It appears that th

Hi David. It sounds similar to the designs used in microwave ovens that has been discussed several times on these groups where a matgnetic shunt is placed so that the primary flux has an alternate pa

Could be, but at least a microwave oven transformer is capable of supplying some power - this thing was supplying virtually nothing. Had even the primary current been 3.15A @ 240 V, it would imply a

Maybe Im a little dense but I have no idea what you are asking. If the plate transformer runs on 240 and the rest on 120 you do not need a separate 120 line. Simply use one leg of the 240 line agains

Not only that, it is illegal and a shock hazard to use the ground wire as a neutral. You would need a four wire outlet or otherwise somehow ensure the power return neutral was isolated from the chas

So then why do amps that offer 120/240 VAC options do it that way? The NEC manual for Resedential Wiring requires both a neutral and a ground at the panel as well as in the distribution wiring. For

This really isn't complicated. If you have the neutral connected to the safety ground or to the chassis of any device at any point other than the main panel, you have faulty wiring. If there is any

So then you are trying to convince us that anyone who has a 240V dryer, range, AC, Air Compressor or similar device with the neutral tied to the ground at the wall outlet and at the device has a safe

Hi Carl, It appears there may be some confusion about what a neutral and a ground are. A neutral is a lead sized to carry return currents to the mains box, and it is an insulated lead. In a consumer
