Ok so here is my problem.
I have a transformer out of a practice amplifier that I got in Australia, I know the primary is intended for 220 volt. The secondary is center tapped.
I measured the secondary voltage with an input voltage of 123 volts which gave me a secondary voltage of 15 volts center taped with no load.
My question is this. I need to replace this transformer with a 117 volt primary equivalent. Would a suitable transformer with a 117 volt primary with a 24 vct be usable? The amp rating will likely be less than 1 amp, as this is for a small practice guitar amplifier.
Sorry if this sounds very basic, I just want to be able to use this 220 volt amplifier on 117 volt mains and replacing the transformer makes the most sense to me.
Thanks for any help! :wink:
