Rick,
You get bonus points for being the first to answer!! Now considering that
this is a center tap transformer, 3440-0-3440, and what you indicated seems
to be from lets say the 0-3440 secondary leg, can the same happen on the
3440-0 leg simultaneously? That is the piece I am struggling with. The
answer will help me in determining the full capabilities of this transformer
given the multitude of secondary taps.
Thank you,
Mike

I THINK you are going to use a full wave rectifier (2 strings of modern
diodes), into a choke, and
get 3000 volts out, at 500 ma = 1500 watts. Perfect, right at the legal
limit. (Ignoring bleeder load.)
And the primary is going to suck 1690 watts from the line, resulting in a
190 watt loss in the core.
Of course I could be wrong, but I get some extra credit for being first to
turn in my quiz don't I?
