220 Volt Champ Transformer on 120 volts
I got some 5f1 Power transformers from Asia which have 220 volt primaries. If I tried to use one with 130 volts input would the secondary votages be near half of the required voltages?
IOW, without a step up transformer are they good for the Euro Market only? |

You'd be 59% of the rated output voltage (130/220). You can get 120 -> 220V wall adapters, I don't see why you couldn't pull one apart for the parts inside, and mount it in the amp before the PT.
I can't really think of any use for them outside of the Euro market without the adapter unless there are circuits content with 60% of the voltage of a Champ. |
