Is there any reason I cant achieve 2.5% taps on this transformer? Say for example getting 2460 by connecting 1&3? Clearly they dont show that as an option
With only two conductors on the primary, there is only one primary voltage, so it's not possible to have a volts per turn difference. I.e. the voltage of the tap point would just move away from the midpoint of H1 and H2 as required.I have to think about it more, but I think there would be a volts-per-turn difference with an asymmetrical connection, causing, you guessed it, overheating.
I agree, as long as it is only two wire input, you should be able to make any connections possible between the taps near mid point, the label just happens to only show limited amount of possibilities.With only two conductors on the primary, there is only one primary voltage, so it's not possible to have a volts per turn difference.
