I remember asking about this a year or so ago, so take a search through the 
archives.

This is from memory, having slept many times since then...so can others please 
confirm:

If you wire two primaries in parallel and two secondaries in series (assuming 
delta input and star output) then you'll get (I think):

(1P Input voltage/ 3P design input voltage) times (3P design output voltage) 
times (root 3) 

Of course if the three bobbins are separate and you can separate the primaries 
and secondaries then you can just parallel them up and treat it like three 1P 
transformers in parallel.  The limitation would be the flux density that the 
core can handle.  

But I could be talking hogwash so please check this out.  The pole pig never 
did come my way so I never got to test the theory

Cheers

I acquired a 3 phase plate transformer.  Is there a way to use it single 
phase   120/240vac ?
