Plus the reason you are getting differing voltages when you run in reverse is because the secondary has extra windings to make up for the transformer losses. In other words if the windings were exactly the same then the output voltage ould be smaller than what you put in. A few % is lost (why transformers get warm). When you run it in reverse you are creating a step down transformer beacause of this difference in the windings.Trust me I'm surrounded by transformers.
