Illuminati (13th Degree)
O'kay I got a nice old trans from an EL 84 amp. It reads 130v 160ma on the sec..
117/100/0 on the primary.
I measure 7.5ohm across the primary and 3 ohm across the secondary.
It has a 6v leg on the sec and a 6.3v leg.
It also has a 6v leg on the pri tied to the 6v leg on the sec with a wire to both ends. On the pri. there is a tab E also.

So source impedance.
SI = pri dcr x turns ratio^2 + sec DCR from Damir's formula.
7.5 ohm * ( Ns/Np) + 3 ohm
7.5 ohm * (130/117) +3= 12.26
Is that the figure we use on the trans in PSUD?
Thanks Guys.
