I just landed a hefty plate tranny at a hamfest today and was wondering if anyone had the specs or information on it. If I read the part # correctly, it is a G-28201. What I do know is it has a tapped primary and I believe the secondary is 2500 C.T. It is also around 115 lbs ! Maybe good for my 4-400 transmitter project? I also scored a UTC S-47 for $20 and some panel meters, variable caps, and a few more odds and ends at a buck each. I'm a happy ham!

Does it have three terminals for the primary, one saying 2000 and one saying 2500? heavy black pig with cast iron bells?

Could it be a BC-610 plate transformer?

Equivalent to Stancor P-9920 good for 2000VDC/500mA or 2500VDC/350mA CCS.

Yep,
 I believe your right. That had been in the back of my mind and I remember seeing a pic of one ('610 plate trans) somewhere on the net, but I couldn't be sure since I've never seen a BC-610 up close and personal. I took some pics of it today. Thanks for the replay. Now, to figure out what the P.A. will run now; guess 4-400's are out of the question.

That does look very much like the BC-610 iron.

perhaps it could be the modulator HV iron.. The ICAS ratings are substantially greater.

if it has those weird numbers on it, it's BC 610. All the iron for that TX was made by Stancor but the ID's are actually Hallicrafters parts numbers. I just got a LV transformer a fil xfmr and a choke all Stancor BC 610 stuff and all the ID's are funky like that. they be hallicrafters parts numbers, not from stancor.

Time for some 250TH action if you could find good tubes. test out all yer ceramic feedthrus.

If it is a BC-610 transformer, then it's more like 5KV CT. It's intended to put out somewhere around 2k - 2.5K VDC after a full wave rectifier and a choke input filter.

I have owned a BC-610C and I have another 610D model and have seen many other 610's. It sure looks like a 610 transformer to me. You could also make a walnut crusher out of it too  Grin Grin

The pictured transformer is identical to the plate transformer I have for a BC-610E. The primary is 115 volt where as the one I have is a dual primary. It wasnt until I rewound it.

I had two of those transformers. One on each side of a 240 Volt line. Then I diode ored the two full wave doide outputs. I got a bit over 3KV with a cap input filter. My buddy up the road owns it now. BC610E
