Default transformer ratios in reverse

Most motors that you would use, have a wide enough voltage intervals
that even if you use a transformer that is not exactly 1:1, in
reverse, your resulting voltage will be a little too high, or a little
too low, but will be acceptable anyway.

Are you talking about using a motor as a generator, running a motor
backwards, or wiring up the transformer "backwards"?

Wiring up a 3ph transformer backwards

"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"

Bruce C. Thornton, a professor of Classics at American University of Cal State Fresno

Ah, this must have been a reply to a thread that I missed. I thought
it was just random pontification. (Seems to happen here occasionally.)
