A question regarding schematics

[57459]

I've come across a Glass Audio schematic. In the article and this dramatic it doesn't specify whether they're using 220 V power grid or a 110 V grid. Does anyone know whether Glass Audio uses one or the other? Is there any way I can tell from the schematic? I'm quite new at this.

I'm asking because I would like to buy the Transformers however, my purchase should differ with regards to the power grid specified on the schematic.

If someone wishes to see this dramatic, please say so.

Thank you for your replies,

I would bet a lot that it is assumed to run on 110V mains as this is a US journal published in the US.

In this case you would need to get a 220V transformer (you'r in a 220V country right) with the same secondary windings as specified in the article. Should be no great deal what with all the on-line power at your fingertips!

Get a transformer with secondary voltage(s) that match the schematic and primary voltage that suits your wall outlet.

The primary voltage is independent of the rest of the schematic.

If they specify a line fuse, you "should" adapt it to your local power. However line fuse size is not an exact art.

Thank you for your replies, it really cleared things up. Now the only problem is finding where I can buy the transformers that I need.

Is it possible to self wound a transformer? Do people build their own transformers if they are nonstandard?

Once again, thank you for all your help,
