Re: passive mains filter with two isolation transformer in series

129.187.26.115

Mike,


"Do your isolation transformers have 4 identical windings(2 primary, 2 secondary) of the
same voltage so they can be used as straight isolation, or as a step-up or step-down device?"

I think so. They are also tested up to 2500 Volts

"If so, you can wire them for balanced AC on the secondaries(+ - 60VAC, or
+ - 120VAC in the UK). Go to Jon Risch's web page for the details, or I can give
them to you myself."

That means I can raise the voltage in Europe/Germany to 460Volts:-)
Is that right?
Talking in Jon Rich terms I safely use double 230 volts(230 Volts on both) on the primary, and separate the secondaries for two 230Volt lines.


"I have balanced power for my whole system, and the
improvements are dramatic."
using the isolation in 1:1 single transformer configuration it sounds a bit distorted, though the transformers should be of good quality.
The bass and overall dynamics have greatly increased.

" I'm an Audio Engineer by trade, and I use it every day for
recording and live sound.If you can do it I think you'll be pleased."

Thanks for your kind answer,
if it is safe I HAVE to give it a try

Regards,
Philipp
