Title: American Monarch Transformer
Post by: KA8WTK on September 18, 2006, 12:36:13 PM
All,
  Just had an American Monarch transformer given to me. Large, heavy and looks like it means business. Has a Hipot of 3500 volts marked on it. Should be easy to find output voltages using a variac. What is not so easy to find are the ratings for current.
  Does anyone have a book about American Monarch transformers that lists their model number 502845? I think it is from a commercial 2-way radio supply.

Thanks!

More Data: Found out it was used in a MOCOM transmitter that ran a pair of 8560 tubes.
Anyone familiar with a transmitter like that?
