Start of winding in toroid matters?

ftjandra · 1st July 2004, 06:50 AM

I am about to put together my first gainclone using one of BrianGT's premium kits. I got the transformers from Victoria Magnetics here in town. They specifically mark which of the wires is at the the start of the windings. Should I connect the start to AC1N or AC1H (AC2N or AC2H), or does it not matter? THanks.

It only matters if you have to series or parallel up the windings. Then of course you have to get the phases of the windings right.
