Hi all,
So I have a number of small and somewhat large transformers and would like to know how to measure them. Identification is futile as transformers are typially custom for each application (and, I've tried and failed), but all that's really important is knowing voltage and current input and output. Is there any way to measure this?
Only way I can see is to apply power to one side and measure with a volt meter, but I feel as if that would result in various dangers and problems, such as fire, shock, and destruction of the transformer, power source, and/or volt meter. Any better ideas?
Thanks in advance.
