Re: [TCML] winding direction

[Ed Phillips <evp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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,

   These discussions remind me of the old joke where the customer 
confuses the inexperienced waitress by ordering eggs fried "one on one 
side and one on the other".
