Re: Transformer wiring hookup 110/220

Jerry,

So you are using two of these in series for your Geckos? This is good
news, as it gives you a way to reduce the overall output and save
your drives life expectancy...

Simply wire one of the two primary's as if it was getting 220. It
will now output 1/2 of what it did formerly, dropping your overall
volts.

One other thing: Have you cross checked your voltmeter against a
known good one? Some of the inexpensive VOMs give weird (but semi-
believable) readings when their battery is low...

Even though your surplus transformers are 110 volt primary, and you
are feeding them with (I think you said) 122; this should still
result in about 75 or so volts using the two secondary's in series.
So i'd Check to be sure your meter's telling you the full story.

Hope this helps,

Ballendo
