Hi All, I have the Raytheon innards on the "bench" and the oil tank safely stowed and covered. The oil "looks" very good to me and amber clear; there is no sign of any water in the tank. It was probably well maintained until taken out of service. Anyway, since the transformer is out of the tank, measuring the transformer output with a voltage divider is no longer practical so I need to determine the turns ratio. I seem to remember with pigs, back feeding 120Vac into the HV was enough maybe to energize the core and measure the LV. So the question is - if I feed 120v into HV 1 phase winding, I believe I read somewhere that LV 1 -N should reflect the direct turns ratio as in single phase. It is Wye:Wye, there is neutral on the primary but it is not on the schematic for the secondary as it is not needed in 6 pulse operation. I have to either find the secondary junction point or back feed 120 volts on a HV phase to another phase. I'm not too sure how to calculate it then. Would a like phase to phase LV be the correct voltage ratio value? If the transformer HV and six pulse calculates to the stated 24KV out, this would not be a good candidate for 6P resonant charging; and, I sure would like to know that at this juncture! Thanks, Jim Mora BTW, I found a tag that states "Ground Beacon", Federal Aviation...pulsed transmitter? _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla
