Lower frequency you need more primary turns so a higher tap to
reduce heating but this will reduce the output voltage due to turns
ratio change, gfz
### agreed. So, in essence... to properly run a xfmr on 50
hz.... you require MORE turns on the pri... and to keep the
turns ratio the SAME.... you will also have to add MORE turns on
the sec..... which the TL-922 may well allready have. The
UK/JA/ZL/VK have 50 hz power, so unless the NA version is 60 hz
only.... I'm guessing any oversea's 922 xfmr's will run just
fine on either freq.
### Too bad somebody way back when, didn't decide on something
higher.... like 70-80-90-100 hz power..... or even higher.. like
200 hz. These plate xfmr's, blower's, and eveything else could
have been made smaller.. and more eff.
### This is the problem with setting standards with 'new'
technology... they get outdated... fast.
