Hi folks,
I found this transformer from an old 120V 700VA UPS. Took me some time trying to figure out which was the input. Finally figured it out and powered it with my APC 500 inverter(actually I had initially plugged the secondary as primary accidentally but the UPS tripped, guess I was lucky) before trying it on mains. The Yellow, Brown and Red wires are the outputs. Red being the centre-tap. The voltages across output leads are as follows:
YELLOW-BROWN=13.7V AC
YELLOW-RED & BROWN-RED=6.8V AC
Can I use this to make a charger for 12V and 6V SLAs? Also is it possible to use just a D3SB60 rectifier at the output and connect it to a SLA battery?
