Question:

Help with a Toroidal Transformer. best answer will get max points!!!!?

I got this Toroidal Transformer out of a z-5500 speaker system. the amp fryed in the system.whell i got this Toroidal Transformer and i want to know if i put DC power on it will it put out DC Power??It says input 120VAC output 26.2VAC ORG. Wire 0V BLK Wire 26.2VAC YEL Wire 14.0VAC BLU Wire 0VAC BLK/BLU WireAnd i whant to know that can i do with this thing???Thinks

Answer:

The transformer is used to drop the 120vac to around 26vac. Without the supporting components you will not get DC voltage. Now, you can bypass the tranformer if you have an adapter that puts out 30vdc or close to it and your speakers will work fine. Now, if the amp is built into the speakers, then it will not work.
DC power into most transformers will result in smoke output. All transformers operate on AC. Your description leads me to believe that this is a power transformer with two outputs (not a Toroidal). 26.2 vac ORanGe 0 v (ground) BLacK 26.2vac YELlow and the other output 14.0vac BLU 0v (ground) BLacK/BLUe Your info does not indicate how many amps you can draw from the outputs, but I would suspect that it would be small (1 amp). The 26.2 vac outputs can be used without the ground to produce 52.4 vac output. It is normal for these two outputs to be out of phase.
