I know next to nothing about making transformers (aside from what anybody with three semesters of undergraduate physics would know) and I'm trying to get conversant enough in the topic to rewind a couple of these HV transformers (for a 545B and a 546), so please excuse my ignorance, but I have a couple of questions:
1. when you say "large number of turns" how many are we talking aobut? I am trying to understand the transformer spec sheet for the 545B transformer (), and my (possibly incorrect) reading is that there are 60 turns on the primary winding, and 733 & 525 turns on the secondary windings. Is this what you mean by a "large number of turns," or have I misunderstood the spec sheet?
2. am I correct in thinking that a "universal winding" is specific winding pattern? I'm having trouble looking that up on the internet, are there other names for this pattern?
