Hey Everyone
I have a mains transformer which has several taps on the secondary coil. The primary coil runs off 240V and the secondary has 3V, 5V, 6V, and 12V outputs. I'm using the transformer in reverse to generate high voltages (I apply 5V to the 5V secondary coil to obtain a high voltages primary coil output). My question is, how can I determine how much current is available from the primary coil output? And secondly, I'm based in England and so the mains has a frequency of 50Hz. Does this mean I should run the secondary coil at 50Hz?
Thanks for any help,
