Greetings all,
I have an application where an indicating light which is normally powered from a stepdown transformer (450V primary, 117V secondary, 60 hz) might need to be powered from an alternate source at 400 hz. Is there any reason that the same transformer cannot be used at 400 hz?
I can't seem to find a manufacturer advertising a transformer with the specific ratings I need, but I see quite a few with rated frequencies stated to be "50-400 hz".
From what I've been able to find using google, it seems that it's possible to go up in frequency, just not down. Any truth to this?
I appreciate any guidance you can give me.
Regards,
Randy
