Hey all, I've got a transformer with the option to supply the primary with 480V or 240V and the secondary output is 120V, all single phase. I'm in need of 240V single phase on the secondary.
What would happen if I wire the transformer with 240-120 configuration, but applied 480 to the 240 side?
I've asked a couple people whom I trust with these sorts of things, but they are both skeptical about what the current rating would be if this was done. it's a 1000VA transformer, and i need about 6 amps on the secondary. I was thinking based on ohms law, it was all linear, but they seem to think there's an exponential factor involved. Curious if this is a terrible idea or not. Appreciate the help!
