I am converting an old Marine Radio to a 160 mtr rig. The supply used a transformer with a 100CPS vibrator. Can I use the transformer that came with it on 60 CPS AC? Certainly. The 100hz was a squarewave & there'll be enough core for your 60hz sinepower. It's the radio units running 400hz & such that are problematic & far too undersized. But if I were you I'd scope it with the vibe under load first to be sure its really a 100hz (or so) supply - I don't recall seeing a 100hz vibrator though there are a lot of other things I haven't seen, too. You'll also have some filter L/C issues to think of, or at least check, and there are hash components you can get rid of. If the buffer cap's good I'd leave it in for handy transient protection. |
