Here in Tokyo I have a pair of identical 2kVA transformers with 100V primaries and dual identical (bifilar wound) 24V secondaries. (The rated current on each of the secondaries is 42A.) The diagram shows both transformers unconnected. Is there a way I can wire these together to get the benefits of balanced power? How would something like this be implemented? Any caveats or particular suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Follow Ups:
It would look to me that you could do this...AT YOUR OWN RISK!Attach the primaries in parallel that is both 0V together and connected to 0V (Neutral) and both 100V together and connected to 100V (Hot)
Now connect the secondary like this.
B to C
F to G
A to EConnect your earth ground to the A to E and you will end up with two 48VAC phases that are 180 degrees out of phase on points D and H.
Connect your equipment to D and H and you will have 96VAC of balanced power.
Is 96 Volts enough? Depends on your equipment but it should be...

What he will have is a single phase center tapped secondary winding. Also called a split phase secondary winding.Jim
I suggest you should have a close study of this thread:
