If.....If.....If

What you drew *Will not* work! No if's, no but's, no maybe's!!

Ok, please redraw my diagram showing me where you think the currents
travel.

Scott, I don't have great graphics skills, but:-

If you joined the primary and secondary 0V wires, you are left with a
three contact transformer!!

In your diagram the current for the load should go the other way.


Yeap, so it should!! My mistake!!

I still don't know what you're saying is wrong with my diagram

What!! Apart from me saying *it will not work!!*

In my diagram, the 1.5A primary current flows &only* in the primary
winding of the transformer and the 3.0A secondary current flows *only*
in the secondary.

Whereas in your diagram, *you* had both flowing in one part of *your*
coil, which would not work!!

No if's, no but's, no maybe's!!
