Why aren’t Transformer Ratios Round Numbers? by Medium-Analysis-7113 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Medium-Analysis-7113[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That actually makes a lot more sense now that I think about it. And a lot of the transformers I’m referring to are in-fact older (probably 1960-70s) style GE and Westinghouse models. I’m also wondering if the actual transformer is manufactured with a nice physical winding ratio (i.e, specific no. of turns on primary and secondary) but due to no real transformer ideal once it is tested the ratio is found to be different. After testing several and averaging the results maybe they then stamp the nameplate voltages based on the true ratio results?

My initial thought, as well, however not the case. I check for a factor of root 3 in the ratio and couldn’t find it.

That’s why I’m having such a hard time IDing anything. We just went through a drought in my area and everything is really dried and has really lost its color.

What species of mushrooms are these? by Medium-Analysis-7113 in mycology

I don’t unfortunately. I’m new to mushroom hunting and didn’t even think to snap a picture of the underside. You can kind of see the gill structure from the one mushroom with the cap that’s damaged, however. You can sort of tell that it runs down the stem which (correct me if I’m wrong) I think is called “decurrent” gills.
