True for an iron core transformer. Not so much for a TC. To compare,
you really need two identical secondaries wound in opposite
directions and compare. I seem to remember someone on the list did
this years ago and found no difference. I would bet that most
secondary and primary winding directions are dictated by the coiler
(is he/she left or right handed).
I am right handed. I wind coils on a motor drive with secondary
horizontal. I wind left to right with the wire guided over the top.
Can you guess my sec winding direction? My primaries are flat and
wound clockwise looking down on them.
Well, in the end, both coils are opposing and they still works great!
Take care,
Bart

when winding my secondary does it matter if i wind it in the same
direction as primary
probably stupid question but i was reading somewhere about a
person that was
taking a nst apart to increase ma. and it mentioned something about how
he had to do it twice because when he reassembled it he did so
as to put the windings in the same direction ????
wondered if that applied to primary/secondary windings
thanks
