Odd..I do it regularly.

What, at no load? Gunner, I worked for a couple of years in the
design and testing lab of Florida Transitron. I know just a bit about
them, and have made many from scrapped parts of others, since.

A 2:1 step-down transformer is NOT wound precisely to 2:1 ratio,
unless it's: 1)so lightly loaded as to constitute virtually no load at
all, or 2) working at much higher frequencies than 60Hz (and even then
loading plays a factor).

I know you don't understand that the secondary has resistance, or that
the core has hysteresis losses; but they do.

Blink blink...so none of the transformers Ive installed are working?

Damn....bunch of miracle machines!!!!!

"Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in
liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support
to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that
would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked
passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us
today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement,
reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit
the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam"
