 Transformer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Transformers come in a range of sizes from a thumbnail-sized coupling transformer hidden inside a stage microphone to gigawatt units used to interconnect large portions of national power grids, all operating with the same basic principles and with many similarities in their parts.
Transformers may also be enclosed by magnetic shields, electrostatic shields, or both to prevent outside interference from affecting the operation of the transformer or to prevent the transformer from affecting the operation of other devices (such as CRTs in close proximity to the transformer).
Transformers may also be enclosed for reasons of safety, both to prevent contact with the transformer during normal operation and to contain possible fires that occur as a result of abnormal operation.

 TRANSFORMER TYPES
Transformer types are also designated by the function the transformer serves in a circuit, such as an isolation transformer.
Ampere rating is increased in a distribution transformer by increasing the size of the primary and secondary windings; voltage ratings are increased by increasing the voltage rating of the insulation used in making the transformer.
Because the magnetic circuit of a current transformer is designed for low magnetizing current when under load, this large increase in magnetizing current will build up a large flux in the magnetic circuit and cause the transformer to act as a step-up transformer, inducing an excessively high voltage in the secondary when under no load.

 Output Transformer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The output (anode) transformer for the 400 W PA uses a 58 mm OD 3C85 core with a primary winding of 140 turns, centre-tapped; and a secondary winding of 9 turns to provide a 50 ohm secondary.
Before making the transformer, Finbar EI0CF alerted me to the problem of using high voltages with ferrite or dust-iron cores and suggested using "high voltage tape".
The transformer was mounted on some 3 mm brown board of the type that used to be used in the manufacture of tag strip (called resin bonded 'something', 'something', I believe).

 Inside Transformers
In the usual shell-type transformer, both primary and secondary are on one leg, and are surrounded by the core.
If the primary of a transformer carries direct current, which is not resisted by inductance but only by the resistance of the winding, which is always low, it is easy to drive the core into saturation for at least part of the cycle.
I disassembled a transformer with a 24 VCT, 1 A secondary and 117 V primary.

 Antenna signal galvanic isolation
Make the leads between the coaxial antenna plugs and the core as short as possible.
Do not try to use other types of transformers because your circuit would not work then and they would cause annoying interference to other TVs connected to same antenna network (and in worst case you get cable TV people hunting for you because you messed with their cable network).
The thin wires between the transformer and the coaxial cable are kept minimum to avoid the adapter to pick up interference.

 Notes on the Troubleshooting and Repair of Small Switchmode Power Supplies
Therefore, it usually makes sense to repair a faulty supply assuming it can be done reasonably quickly (depending on how much you value your time and the down time of the equipment) and, of course, assuming that the equipment it powers is worth the effort.
Make sure the equipment is unplugged and the large filter capacitors are fully discharged before doing anything inside the case - both for your safety and to prevent damage to the supply.
Since the controller resides on the output side of the transformer, the drive to the 2 half-bridge NPN bipolar transistors is by a driver transformer (a direct connection cannot be made because the transistors are on the primary side).

 Z565-48 17.5(35W) Watt Dyna Clone Output Transformer
The primary is wound the same as the original 565, same number of turns, sections and wire size, using the same patented Dynaco winding method, and made on the same core size and material.
This transformer has what you'd expect out of a Dynaco transformer, like healthy low frequency inductance (over 1000 henries at 60 Hz), high resistance to distortion caused by output tube imbalance, and low distortion overall.
Transformer specs are: 8000 ohms CT primary with screen taps, 4 & 8 ohm secondary.

 Metaltronix Amplification Basics
Transformer iron is annealed to be physically and magnetically soft (which go together), and an oxide layer is grown on it to prevent the layers from electrical contact, which affects how much core loss happens.
Transformers are susceptible to electronic modelling, and once you get the model correct, you can twiddle the values until you get the "tone" you want, including nonlinear effects.
You can model any transformer as a shunt primary capacitance across the primary winding, a series leakage inductance to the primary winding, a series resistor equal to the winding resistance, a nonlinear inductance representing the primary inductance, with a nonlinear resistor in parallel with the primary inductance to represent core losses, primarily from eddy currents.
