No to be Clear.


Input voltage is 120V off house mains.


Out put: red and blue leads center tap 1100 V at 1 amp this is for one transformer.


It has another set of leads that outputs 150V but I did not measure the amperage on those.


The problem was that the leads are identical in color so one transformer has two red leads and two blue leads. I first tried them together and had heating happening too quickly. So I measured for continuity on the leads and took voltages separately and in various combination. This is how I discovered that I had identical colored leads but with different outputs voltages. The center tap HV blue and red leads are farthest from the center of the transformer with the lower voltage 150V red and blue leads being closer to the center of the transformer. They are marked identically to each other the color of the output leads that is.


To make sure of this I went and got the second transformer wired it up and repeated everything to make sure this was in fact how it was supposed to be and not a bad transformer since it has been sitting for about 20 years in a storage facility. The second transformer behaved inthe same way and had the same voltages to within a few volts of the other transformer.


So again the black leads are the input leads for the ac mains and I supplied 120volts main voltage to them from a 30 amp circuit.


The output was 1100V @1 amp on one set of outputs.


The out put on the other set of ouputs was 150V unknown amperage.



So with two transformers I can either have a combined output of 2200V at 1 amp or 1100V at 2 amps before I rectify it or double it!



I hope this is more clear.
