Title: Wiring or Schematic for SB 220 Transformer 54-237
Post by: WD8BIL on December 02, 2010, 02:29:15 PM
I'd like to see the wiring diagram for this tranny I have.
It has the SB 220 p/n stamped on it but I have no info.
A 1KW power tranny would be nice.

   Bud,

   That transformer has dual tapped primary's for 115/230 input
   giving it a 500 volt boost when switching  from "CW/TUNE" to "SSB"
   mode.  It is designed for voltage doubler service.

   The color codes are as follows:
    Primary 1 :   low end: Black            tap: Blk/Yellow    high: Yellow
        "      2 :        "     : Black/Green    "  : Blk/Red          "  : Blue
  
    Secondary:   High end: Red           Low end:  Red/Yellow    
  
    Wire both primary's (full windings) for 2500 volts in doubler service
     Switch to taps for 3KV doubler output.

     There's a schematic at "www.w6kan.com/sb220.html"...

     It's a nice piece for it's purpose...
