[ICOM] IC-2KL on 240v

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

I believe that if phasing were reversed,
either in parallel connection for 120VAC
usage or series for 240VAC, the output
would be ZERO since the vector sum
of each winding's output would be
opposing each other.

I also believe that reversed phasing in the
case of parallel connection would certainly
not do the transformer itself any good!!!

Great point! I forgot to mention that in my earlier response.

Since I do not have an IC-2KL, I don't know how the transformer is marked,
or laid out.

The phasing of the two primary windings is also important, and if they are
not wired properly, in series, (or in parallel, for that matter on 120VAC),
you won't get the proper voltage on the secondary side.

Just a thought, or am I making it more confusing?
