I have a generator that outputs 240V using two 120V windings in series. Loading one 120V side more than the other creates an inbalance and causes droop on the loaded side. The voltage regulation performs best with both winding equally loaded. Some ppl wire a 120V/240V primary input transformer onto the generator output to provide a current path across the windings to allow the system to balance. These transformers in the 3kw range are pricey whereas magnet wire and iron are a fraction of the price. I was thinking of just creating the primary side of a transformer. Basically it's half of a center tapped transformer that can handle 20A.
How many turns of what size wire onto what material will produce what I need?
Thanks
