i have an epcos 565-2 transformer and i want to know how much it will raise the electrical output of a standard 1.5 volt battery. i really do not know much about transformers, but i bought a motor, assuming that i would be able to do fun things with it, and i hooked it up to all the power i could(solar batteries, and numerous amounts of AA batteries) but it wouldn't spin anything that i attached to it more than probably 60 rpm. i bought a transformer to boost the power, and spin the motor much faster. the motor is graded for 3000 rpm maximum, but i just want it to be above 250. any help would be appreciated.
In addition, the number you gave is a part number for a transformer and the part number seldom, if ever tells you the turns ratio. And transformers only convert AC. I am afraid their information was totally wrong.
With a transformer the important part is the turns ratio 565-2 in your case this means if you connect 565 volts to the high voltage side of the transformer, the voltage across the low side will be 2 volts In you case you want to connect the small amount of voltage you have across the low voltage terminals and then connect the motor across the high voltage terminals The high voltage and low voltage terminals should be clearly marked. so in your case, with a 1.5 volt battery across the low voltage side, the high voltage out put will be 565/2*1.5 which 423.73 V
cule is totally wrong. Transformers only work with AC, not DC But even with AC, transformers do not boost power, they only boost voltage, with a lower current. Use more batteries, such as several 9 volt batteries
Transformers will only work with AC, not the DC from a battery. You will have to buy/build an inverter circuit to convert the 1.5 V to anything higher with a transformer (the transformer may become part of the inverter if it is the right kind). The other thing to think about is the power level. A 1.5 v AA battery is good for this much power: 1.5 volts * 1 Amp 1.5 Watts You might get 2 Watts out of it for a few minutes, but it can only sustain 1.5 to 2 Watts for about an hour. How much power is the motor rated for? If the motor is rated for 10 Watts, then 1, 2, 3, or even 4 AA batteries will not be enough to power the motor much above 250 RPM. There is still alot you need to know. Just for fun try a bunch of D cells in series (about 10 of them) The extra current provided by the D cells may spin the motor faster. .
