Transformer installation help - HS5F3AS

[gunasekhar]

Hi,

I am attaching the cut sheet, but when I connect mains as per the cut sheet the out put is fluctuating. I am not an electrician, but trying to connect this transformer to run 110 volts applicances, any one out there help me to install this, how do I connect the main lines and how do I take 110 volts output. My requirement is step down from 240 to 120. Thanks for the help

For your primary 240 volt side connect H1 to H6 and connect H3 to H8. Your 240 is applied to those two junctions.

For your 120 volt secondary connect X1 to X3 and connect X2 to X4. Your 120 volt out is out on those two junctions.

You may want to measure your mains to the transformer primaries and make sure it is stable at 240 volts.

Did you make your connections as instructed by the sheet? For 240--> 120, that should be:

• Connect H1 to H6, connect H3 to H8
• Connect line (240V) to H1 & H8
• Connect X1 to X3, X2 to X4
• Connect load (120V) to X1 & X4

What do you mean by "fluctuating"? Does the secondary voltage regularly pulsate?

Attached is a cartoon that follows what has been posted. The cartoon does not show all the transformer taps, only those you need to connect.
