Hello All,
Years ago I worked with a ham radio operator who told me how he modified power transformers to meet certain voltage requirements.
I can't remember the exact details, but I think it had something to do with finding out the turns ratio between primary and secondary. Disassembling the transformer and remove/add turns as needed to arrive at the desired voltage transformation.
Searching around for a video or detailed description of the process I haven't been able to find any that click. Maybe I'm searching with the wrong terms.
Is this a lost art?
I'm hoping maybe someone here has been there and done it.
I have a plate/filament transformer from an old tube console stereo that has a 630V C.T. secondary. I'd like to modify it to build a 220-250V linear supply for the 3 tube Ribbon Mic PreAmp I've been working on.
Thanks!
