Hello all, first post on the forums.
I tried searching other posts but didn't find anything similar so here goes.
I need help and advice with a small 20va chassis mount transformer i found.
The secondary output voltage is dependent on the fluctuating input voltage.
The mains voltage varies from 220-250v.a.c and regardless of input voltage i need to work out how to achieve a constant secondary loaded voltage of 5.5v.a.c at 3.4A.
The secondary is used to constantly power a NiChrome wire length and cant deviate more than +/- 5°C if possible, the wire isn't in free air.
Sorry i haven't got any photos of what i'm trying to do as of yet.
Do not really want to use a switch mode power supply because of the expense, not sure how to do it and need a poke in the right direction
Thanks a lot
