Best way to put voltage taps on 30a wire on transformer secondary winding?

[gary350]

I need 4 voltage taps on 30 amp wire at turn, 10, 13, 16, 19. What is the best way to make taps on #10 stranded wire?

Probably by running separate windings out, and joining them together.

Get a scalpel and remove 1/4" of insulation, look up the insulation. Wrap a turn of wire to tap into that bare section of copper. Put a piece of craft paper behind the tap so it doesn't short to the core (and possibly some black electrical tape. Not difficult.

What voltages are you dealing with? Electrical tape is only good for 600 volts.

Not that I could see. The OP only says he wants multiple taps at 10, 13, 16 and 19 turns. Without knowing the turns per volt, we really don't know what the voltages will be.

That said, the secondary voltage will be likely be low due to the relatively higher number of primary turns.

I have lost my MATH information to determine, capacitors, inductor, resistor, values for a power supply? I make notes then can't find them?
