I have a small power transformer here, Philco 45-7011-7, which I would like to use for a screen supply. It has the usual center tapped HV winding, which measures 380-0-380v, just right, as well as 5v

Wire up a couple of diodes, a 500 Ohm resistor simulating a choke and a 10-20uF cap. With a variable bleeder adjust until the DC is .9 of the AC. I prefer the choke input as youre not at the mercy of

Vic, A simple rule for small transformers is that they are designed to have a voltage drop of close to 5% in each winding (10% total). This figure can vary a little, but not very much. At least it gi

Or it's a multi-winding transformer, which is exactly the case here. Also, in windings that are rated for a very low current, the manufacturer may use over-sized wire to help avoid breakages, so the

That Philco transformer is part of their "Universal" series and the 1952 catalog only goes to the -6 version. I'll check my later Radio Masters when I return after some errands. Carl KM1H ___________

Hi Vic,   If you can measure the cross section of the laminations (center post or sum of the side posts) there are old charts (i.e. 1976 ARRL Handbook, Transformer Rewinding, p.109) that show the pow

I haven't had a chance to actually try this yet, but since I am sitting at my 'work' computer, I simulated it with the PSU Designer program (which I think came with a recent ARRL handbook). I entered
