Original poster: "Gerry Reynolds" <gerryreynolds@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi Steve,I would think the two "identical" secondaries would run very close the the same frequency but once the primary rang down (no more forcing function), they might drift apart in phase, sometimes "in phase" and sometimes "out of phase". Since no two things are exactly identical, what would keep them phased correctly??
By putting the primaries in series, the currents are forced to be exactly phased the same. Yes, there will be slight differences between the secondaries, and the coupling isn't k=1, so there might be small differences in phase, but overall, they'll be pretty close.
