Determining ratings for unknown Power Transformers

boywonder · 22nd April 2009, 07:06 PM

Over the past few weeks, I have been searching the forum for info on determining current ratings, etc for unknown transformers.

I was reading a thread about 2 weeks ago where someone had posted an article from an old electronics world magazine about the subject. To make a long story short, I managed to download the first page of the article to my HD but did not get the remaining pages before being interrupted and then having my computer reboot while I was away from it, losing the thread.

I have attached the first page of the article and I am hoping that someone has the second page (or can point me to the original thread) so that I can download it also.

I had to laugh when checking the "have you searched" button to post this......yes, I searched my A$% off!!

Ty: Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

That took all of 8 minutes between my post and yours, as opposed to hours of searching that I've already spent.

I don't have a clue why this thread did not turn up in my search...

Just for giggles, I just searched the tubes forum for "transformer current" again since the thread you link to above is called "transformer current question" started by mikecj.

The thread above does not show up, however, another thread started by whitelabrat shows up that is also called "transformer current question".

So there are two threads with the same name but only one shows up in the search.
