I have a few old microwave transformers. Wondering if i could take that and rewind it to make a step up (i know they are step up transformers) from 110 volts to 220 volts.
I want to test a 220v motor i have been given and see if it is any good or just scrap. only outlet in my house that supplies that power is for my dryer but i dont know if i want to just connect wires directly into to test the motor.
Again its just to test the motor that it works at different speeds.i believe it can handle up to 440v (multiple volts). I can take a picture of the data plate and post and or post motor brand and model if needed. I do have other transformers that i can use but they are rated at 110v at 400hz and is s step down to 29v. those transformers are from torn down aircraft.
oh, also i have a treadmill motor i want to turn into a 36x4 inch belt grinder. any direction into make a driver for that and or just using the one that came with it and rewiring only whats needed to drive the motor please let me know.ill also post that separately.
Side Notes: location is in Arizona so i use 110v outlets.took electronics in high school but that was over 15 years ago so i remember some stuff.also running the 110 to 220 step up transformer allows me to run off a power strip as a safety precaution. im wanting to get back into electronics again and luckily some knowledge i have from high school as well as a power tool mechanic at Sears and Homedepot as well as repairing generators etc at home.just not modifying a transformer and such.
