Hi I was wondering if it is possible to have a transformer with two primary windings and one secondary? It's just a thought and I am not sure. I tried it in circuit program but it reads the voltage on the secondary as the voltage on just one primary winding which I set to 120V
I figured since there were two primarys with 120V applied to each that the secondary would read 240V as long as the primarys were in phase and not canceling out each others flux. The reason is because I believe that the flux created would be double that of just one primary winding and so the induced voltage on the secondary would be double that of one primary but equal to the total voltage of both primarys. It makes sense since the flux in the core is now double what would be created by just the single primary.
So yea, is it possible and is the program just doing it correctly and if it is not then why not? I am not sure what use this would have i just want to know if it is possible.
