Good morning,

I appreciate your time and patience, this maybe a silly question, but when doing the windings for a step up transformer, are you allowed to stack the windings? Basically if I want do 30 turns do I have to 30 in a single row, or can I do 3 rows of ten turns stacked on top of each other?

I know this may seem like a stupid question but I very much appreciate your insights.

You can stack the windings.

 

Thank you very much for your quick response. This makes my life a bit easier

 

For modifying transformers, it is often easier to add overwinds on a toroidal version rather than the E-I type.
Max.

 

When dealing with hundreds of volts per layer or more, be careful about the voltage difference between layers. You may have to put down a layer of tape or paper between layers to prevent arcing between layers.

Awesome, thanks for the tip.
