Hi Dave!This makes total sense to me.
People have run P/P transformers in SE
mode successfully (reports from others-- I
haven't tried it) when plate current is
held at about 1/3 of the transformer's rating--
or less.My thinking on it is that different P/P
manufacturers build differently, so one
can only guess.If anyone's going to do this, why not try
different current levels (on a given P/P
trans-- running SE) until you find an area where
you hear (or observe on your O'scope or analyzer)--
no saturation problems at full output-- and THEN,
take a good look at performance as you lower drive
levels.Depending on what you find, you may elect to change
standing current level.Full output isn't all that you need to know--
how does the trans behave at ANY chosen output level?-Dennis-
