pioneer power transformer
Hi all. I hope I'm at the right place.
I have a salvaged power transformer from a Pioneer SX-1010, I have the secondaries figured out but need some help with the primary leads. black, red, yellow, brown and blue, which one is common and which color is for what input voltage, thanks in advance Mark.... |

Get an ohm meter and figure out which ones are actually connected together. It's almost a sure thing that there are two pairs of wires that are each connected together. Determine what those pairs are. This is probably a 120/240 transformer. Use the windings in series for 240 and in parallel for 120. The challenging part is figuring out what polarity to use when hooking the primary windings up. Hook the windings in series and measure the voltage on one of the secondary. The secondary voltage will either be appropriate, half what it should be, or inappropriately very low low. Avoid using the primary connections that yield very inappropriately low voltages on the secondary winding(s). Once you've figures out the right polarities of the wires, use the appropriate series or parallel connection, depending on what the line voltages are where you are. |

If there were 3 or 4 wires for the primary, that would be straightforward. What do you figure the 5th one is for? |

straightforward. What do you figure the 5th one is for? An electrostatic shield? Good point! In that case it won't have continuity to any of the others, and it should be grounded. Right? |
