I don't want to flood the newsgroups with this, and its kind of a
one off post, but in case it's useful to anyone building an EDM or
CNC machine in the UK (or anywhere where 240V is the norm..) is
thinking of building a machine, I have some transformers I picked up
off ebay a few days ago.
They are marked Airlink Transformers 027-724425 part No 2190
They are 120VA 240 V primary 22 V secondary toroidal transformers
thats Ok for 6 Amps..
They are complete with mounting hardware and are NOS never been used.
For my EDM I am ditching the original transformer in the machine I
have been building and I am going to put 4 of these in the box and
run the outputs to a patch board (OK so I'll probably use a terminal
block for now!) That way I'll be able to run a good range of
voltages.
I will also be using one in my CNC drilling machine.. which uses an
LR driver for the steppers..
There is plenty of room for extra windings if you wanted to get 12
or 5 Volt windings on there too..
If anyone is interested, I will sell them on for £10 for 4 ...
Shipping extra.. and they weigh 1.2 Kg each :-(
That will give you the option of
88 and 66 volts at 6A
44 Volts at 12A (twice)
22 volts at 24A
and I have tested them and they are OK serialed or paralleled
I reckon thats a good deal as they must be over £10 each new...
