I am building a resistance solderer( https://www.electro-tech-online.com/custompdfs/2008/12/solderer.pdf ) and have this transformer: 24V CT (12-0-12) 10A TRANSFORMER-MPJA, Inc. .
It has 2 primary windings, parallel them for 120v input , or series for 240v input. Output is 24v @ 10 amps.
It would be more usefull to me to have a 12 volt output and 6 volt from the center tap( as opposed to 24v and 12v center tap).
Can I wire the primaries in series( as you would for 240v input) but use 120v instead so I can get the 12v and 6v I want?
I know it will work, but will it cause harm to the transformer?
Thanks, Sam 2
