Keep on posting as you play ... er ... experiment.




What do you expect to get out of the secondary, once
you wind it?

Well, I _expect_ it to act like an ordinary transformer, but that's
what the play^H^H^H^Hexperimenting is for. ;-)

Ohhh - my bad. I meant what voltage & current do you
expect? I dunno if you're going for an isolation
transformer, a 12 v at 20 amps or ???

Thanks Everybody! This thread has been very enlightening!

Oh, that. I haven't decided anything yet - heck, it could sit there
on the bench for months just the way it is befor I feel like dicking
around with it some more; it's more a diversion than anything else.

But the idea of a 12V, 20A supply does sound attractive; or maybe
3 windings, and make a +12, -12, +5 supply, or maybe even those new
low voltages that chips seem to be using these days. IOW, I can
do whatever I want to do with it, I just don't know what I want yet.


Thanks!
