SUT question

Im not quite sure what your question is but I think 0-40R is the primaries DCR which doesnt affect the cartridge loading. If your going to do loading calculations you will
need to know what the step up ratio is. I think 2 primaries would have been provided to give you options for the step up. Connecting the primaries in series will give
you a given step up say 1:10 while connecting them in parallel will double it to 1:20. This will affect your loading calculations.

Sorry I cant read the writing on the SUT very well from the picture can you write it down? Also what make is it and what are you trying
to do with it ie iwhat cartridge into what i/p impedance , that may help. By the way you cant permanently magnetize the soft magnetic material
used for a SUT's core by passing measurement DC through the coil otherwise they wouldnt work. I do it all the time and I make SUT's. If you dont believe me read Q&As on the Sowter website.
 
Having a closer look I think it says 40R -23K on each coil. If so I think that means each coil is 1:24 ie the square root of 23000/40.
So if you parallel them up you would get 1:12. So with 1:24 a 47K secondary load will look like 82R to the cartridge
(if thats the application) and with 1:12 it would be 376R. Does that help ?

ps the 40R -23K doesnt mean that the primary coils dcr is 40R it means that the load seen on the primary will be 40R if the secondary
load is 23K and vice versa. So if you do parallel up the coils the load seen will be 20R. Is that what you meant ?

Felipe,

Are you read this?

The final graph below compares the left channel for all three load conditions. The highest curve is 47k-ohms, the middle yellow curve is 100-ohms, and the bottom pink curve is 22-ohms. As you can see, there is hardly any difference—certainly not like the difference presented by Extremephono in their graph.
 
If you have a MC until 20 ohm as impedance the the primary must be parallel
If you have a 40 ohm MC as Denon DL103 you can put them in series.
Leaving in series the secondary
In the two cases the ratio changing and also the reflected impedance seen by MC ( if the Zin of the phono stay fix at 47 kohm as usual)
