Can someone direct me to reading material on this? I've wound a HT transformer and it's got a decent hum to it and draws about 1A @230V input with no load. Thanks, Steve _____________________________

The xfmr I rewound has two tapped primaries on a split bobbin  (I didn't need to touch the primary windings). Magnetizing current is about 2A. It runs dead cold.  Manfred's info online (below) helped

Hi Manfred, That's good enough answer for me.  I do have a small mains-rated cap, and just try it for fun. Yes, it's a big transformer ;) Steve _______________________________________________ Amps ma

Yes, big ups++ to Manfreds' helpful guidance!  He's launched me into the hobby of transformer rewinding!  I have a shed full of enormous transformers to wind now! It seems 1A primary mag current is p
