Hi everyone,
I have a center tap toroidal Transformer transformer with 14.5V-0-14.5 (RED BLACK RED) outputs.
the input is 220V AC and the output 14.5V-0-14.5 (RED BLACK RED).
If im just using the black and 1 red wire I get around 16V same as the other red wire. but when I connect them in series to get around 29V the transformer get very hot and make some small sparks and doesnt give me any output voltage. as I said if I'm not connecting 2 of the wire in series, nothing happens and the transformer is happy.
my question is why the transformer shorts out or something? can't I connect the wires in series to get 29V or what?
here is a picture of the transformer with the label on it :
Thanks for everyone who is trying to help.
