transfomer

I have this transformer with no datasheet. It's 16V-0-16V and rated for 3A. I'm not going to use the center-tap terminal (the 0V terminal). I'll use the two 16V terminals to get 32V AC. Should I draw 3A ? Or 1.5A? In other words, Is the 3A for each winding? Or Is this a total power meaning a...

In a rectifier and RC filter, which combination of waveform, bi-polarity, inductor/cap, and transformer-type will give the least ripple in the output? My input is 100 kHz AC supplying a transformer. I have control over the supply voltage, wave shape, and polarity, over the transformer type, and...

Hello all, I am working on an isolated gate driver bias supply with a 4-output transformer. this transformer is VP4-0075-R and it has a weird pin configuration. Here is my attempt to layout this transformer.. and the circuit is based on this schematic.. Is my layout good? if not what...

Hi there, I’ve been really enjoying the DIY projects section of this site. Today I set out to build an AC transformer using the tutorial. Sawed a few pieces of steel, drilled bolt holes, wound one layer of electrical tape to each bar, and wound several hundred turns of 28 AWG magnet wire to the...

Hello I have this problem as mentioned in the subject, which happens when I connect the transformer to a " 3-phase full wave controlled bridge rectifier ". I have a fully controlled bridge rectifier board of (TYN812RG) thyristors, and I want to trigger it through some firing board which I am...

Hey I'm a NOOB trying to complete a DIY project of hooking up a thermostat to my garage heater. I am following this video... I ordered the exact contactor and transformer linked in the comments. I can't get the contactor to close. The highest voltage I have seen from the transformer is...

Hello, This is my first time designing a transformer based power supply. I have wound a couple of experimental toroids so far with varying results and am still not sure exactly on how to calculate the number of primary turns. Using a T94-2 core as an example (because I have one sitting...

Hello everyone, I'm trying to create a high voltage power supply with a flyback transformer, IRFZ44N and a 220 Ohm resistor. (200 ohm in the diagram should be 220 Ohm ) Here's my schematic. My problem is that the wires connected to drain and source of the mosfet becomes burning hot and melt the...

Hello, I have bought a Wii console with a non working power adapter. After checking out the adapter I found that the issue was that it has a 120v input and probably was plugged in a 220v. To fix it, I replaced a Varistor, a Fuse and a 200v 180uf Capacitor. The power adapter is rated at 120v and...

Hi . I recently acquired a 250vac 240v to 24v transformer. Which i am going to use for a project. Just want to confirm my numbers are right. 3 things. 1)That @24v the maxium i can draw is 10a. 2) 24×10= 240watts. Would a 1a fuse on the 240v side do as suitable protection. 3) As i have a earth...
