Hello All,
I purchased a transformer that has a primary winding rated for 230 volts and a secondary rated at 6 volts. I hooked this transformer up with the primary side receiving 120 VAC. I thought the secondary side would now be stepped down to around 3.0-3.5 VAC, but I found that the secondary side is measuring 6.2 VAC. Any thoughts as to why the voltage isn't lower?
