[ARC5] Bucking Transfomers

[Robert Eleazer]

Two questions for y'all.

1.  What happens if you connect the secondary only of a transformer to the primary side of the radio power transformer?  For example, I have a 4 amp 6.6 volt secondary military filament transformer (potted meal can type) with its secondary insulation rated at 1.07KV.

2.  If you do as I describe in item 1 above can you then use the primary side of the transformer as a power supply for something?

Thanks,

Wayne
