Is there any way to figure out how it's set up without buying any fancy expensive tools?I tried with two multimeters but I only get 0 or not connected when trying to figure it out.
1. Why do all these transformers have so many pins?
2. How can I find what is the primary and what is the secondary?
3. Is there usually more than one coil or more than one tap?
I just need to step up voltage for my coilgun.
You'll need an AC current source for the coil, not DC. You can probably use a function generator with a current limited power supply, to avoid burning something out.
I have an el-cheapo autoranging multimeter but I've tried it with an autoranging fluke as well to the same results.Is there just something wrong with using an autoranging one?
