dear all,
i have received a task of conversion of powersupply of 110v/60hz to 220v/50hz.
it's a 10 ampere cvt type transformer with 10mf/440ac/60hz aluminium liquid filled capacitor attatched 2 of it;s primary.
transformer doesn't have any specs of 50/60hz. i tried connecting it to simple stepdown transformer of 110v but 24vdc output was reduced to 20v and 12v to 11 v. will changing the capacitor to any other value ?? give proper results?
equipment further has a power watchdog circuit which continuosly give alarms of 24 v error. i have got some circuit layout which i can post but that doesn't show component details.
i have succesfully changed the equipment to 220 v by changing the main transformer to a 220v new one but i had used a simple transformer and not a cvt one .
my concerns are :-
1. using a simple transformer instead of a cvt transformer is it safe and advisable?
2.how to connect a step down transformer and do not disturb the original.
3. any way to check frequency specs of transformer seperately?
ac power is not distributed to any other component so sorting the 1st point will sort my problem
it is basic transformer with 120 v primary and 21 v in secondary which further gives output of 24v dc and 12 v dc.
basically a 1.2 kwatt load equipment
