Anyone,
I have a 6500vac (as best as I can tell 7 ma) bug zapper transformer and I need to step it down to about 1200vac before converting it to DC. I believe it would be a 6:1 ratio??? I think I remember reading somewhere that stepping down would lower the voltage but also increase the Ma. I would like to increase the current but must lower the voltage.
So, the simplest first: Would any place have a 'stock' transformer that would get me near where I need to be? Maybe a doorbell transformer run backward??
Is there some place either online or other that would likely have a true step down transformer that would work?
Last resort, is winding your own step down transformer a difficult task? Is there a web site that anyone knows of that I could use to determine the specific details to wind a transformer like I need??
As always, I appreciate any guidance anyone can give me.
Will
