|    Isolation transformer?    |
|    28 Jul 19 19:56:47    |
      From: BobEngelhardt@comcast.net              I was looking for a 120-120 isolation transformer on eBay and I kept       finding 120-240/480 transformers. There are 2 secondaries on these       (connect in parallel or series). It occurred to me that I could use one       of these as a 120-120 by using one secondary as input and the other       secondary as output. I know that this is theoretically possible, but       are there practical reasons why it wouldn't work?              Also: if one of these 120-240/480 transformers is rated 500VA, that       means 1 amp on the secondary, right? I.e., 1A at 480v.              Thanks,       Bob              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
