can i connect wires in a single transformer to get higher volts?


enter image description here


I have this transformer, and i want to get 27V output. i don't know what's inside, but i just have the product. it's a 15/12/0/12/15 vac center tapped transformer.


The question might be dumb, but is it able to connect those 12,15v wires in single transformer to get 27 volts?


if it's not possible, will i be able to get 30v by putting one more transformer and connect 15volts in series? it's a 0.7A transformer.



Answer



If you connect to the two 15 volt terminals, you will get 30 volts.


Between the two 12 volt terminals, you will get 24 volts.


Between the left 15 volt terminal and the right 12 volt terminal you will probably get 27 volts (but may only get 3 volts, depending on how the terminals are arranged relative to the secondary winding taps).



The 0 volt terminal will be the centre tap of the secondary winding, and the two 15 volt terminals will be the two ends of that winding. The 12 volt terminals will be connections 20% in from the ends of the windings

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
