ISOLATION TRANSFORMER RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RELAY HEATERS

Post by ViperDoc »

I've been looking around for a 120VAC: 6.3 V auxiliary transformer for isolated relay heaters. One of you mentioned a .6A Hammond but I can't find them in stock. Anyone tried Triad Magnetics, like this one?

I would ideally like one with a closed housing. I'm still looking, but if you know of one you like, please let me know.

Many thanks!
Just plug it in, man.

Here's a hammond with a 115V primary.

I see the "B" version is 117 VAC on the primary. Would that 2 V make any difference?

Easy enough to work out, 6.3 / 117 = 0.05 therefore each volt on the primary equates to 0.05v on the secondary.
