Hi all, I'm at the point of winding T5 and have a question about whether I have it wound correctly. In particular, it seems like the step-down winding (the 4 turns of green wire) can't be perfectly centered over the other winding (the 16 turns of red wire). I.e. if you start counting turns on the 16-turn coil from one side, the first pass through the core of the 4-turn winding occurs between winding 6 and 7. If you start counting turns from the other side, the first pass of the 4-turn winding occurs between windings 7 and 8.
Does this sound like it's wound right? I can't see any other way to wind the xformer without this being the case. It's symmetrical if I turn it over - i.e. if I flip it, the 4-turn winding is "off" to the other side by 1. if this is wound right, does it matter which way it's installed? i.e. which leads are 1/2 and 3/4? The manual doesn't specify so I'm assuming it doesn't. But this is a little bit of a Rubik's cube type of puzzle for me I guess ;) Thanks, LS -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K2-winding-T5-tp4531587p4531587.html Sent from the [K2] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
