It is very common for transformers to be placed in parallel service. To provide maximum efficiency, voltage and impedance values must match closely for each transformer involved. A failure to match voltage and impedances will cause unbalanced loading for the transformers and may lead to overheating or premature failure.

Our transformers are designed to work with most common types of dimmers.Please don't hesitate to contact us for specific dimmer compatibility. See similar questions...

Yes, the main benefit is a higher hold current with lower resistance. Refer to the technical overview of PPTC devices in the Databook. See similar questions...

Machines with many processors are much faster than single processors can be. Parallelism itself presents no advantages, and parallel machines are somewhat awkward to program. When extreme speed is required, it is necessary to face this awkwardness. See similar questions...

Yes, the main benefit of this technique is a higher hold current with lower resistance. Refer to the technical overview of PPTC devices in the product catalog for more information. When two identical PolySwitch devices are placed in parallel, the hold current of the devices will increase and the combined resistance should be half the resistance of one of the devices.

The Saltpipe can be used with any medicaments, since it only contains natural salt-crystals collected from different salt-caves. See similar questions...

All of the transformers (OPT, IT, Choke and Power) on our SV-amplifiers are specially manufactured by Tamura on our request. That is to say, they are not the standard models (ex. F-5002, F-7002, etc.) in Tamura's catalog. In addition, all of them (except for the power transformer of SV-300BSM) are made of silicon steel with "EI" type core. SV-300BSM's power transformer is made of silicon steel but with "C" type core. See similar questions...

You need a DPDT switch. Wire it as shown in the diagram at http://aga.rru.com/FAQs/Images/par-ser-spkr.gif . Make sure you get one capable of handling the current you're likely to see in your speaker cab. I'd go with at least a 5A switch. The overall rating is what matters, not the switching rating. You should never be flipping this switch while the speakers are being played through! See similar questions...

YES, even though one primary (or secondary) winding may be all you need from the look of the schematic and/or specs, the unit was designed to run ALL windings. Example - you have a dual primary unit for 115/230VAC operation. You have 115VAC power, you must hook BOTH primaries in parallel (make sure you connect them in phase). If you try to use only one primary (or secondary), the unit will probably overheat and voltage regulation will be poor. See similar questions...

In regard to transformers in vaults associated with large commercial buildings, or on the other side of a wall in a commercial building, yes they are a problem. Extremely high fields can be created in occupied areas adjacent to these units. The same applies to other components of the electrical system connected to the transformers. Possibly. Requesting that the utility move or modify their lines is usually not within the realm of reality, and shielding is impractical for a number of reasons. See similar questions...

Since 1994 there has been an annual Transformers convention, usually called "BotCon" (for two years it was "The Official Transformers Collectors' Convention" (OTFCC)). The convention is such a major event in the fandom that there is a full section of the FAQ (I/D) devoted to it, as well as the smaller, unofficial conventions that have become more widespread in the last few years.

Transformers connected in reverse, to proper input voltages, will provide correct nameplate voltage output, albeit reversed. However, for transformers rated 2 KVA and below, the output voltage would be less than the nameplate rating, since smaller KVA transformers have a greater turns ratio compensation on their low voltage windings. CAUTION: When reverse connecting a delta-wye transformer, a wye primary will be created. Wye primaries may cause problems and are not recommended. See similar questions...

Parallel imports, which are sometimes referred to as "grey market" imports, are cross broder trade in a product, without the permission of the manufacturer or publisher. Parallel imports take place when there exists significant price differences for the same good in different markets. There is trade in parallel imports in a wide range of goods, including such items as pianos, automobiles, motorcycles, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, computers, cameras, Levi jeans, music CDs and ski equipment.

No, the Parallel method typically results in higher R-Values, but is not considered accurate to be accepted by the building industry. See similar questions...

Although similar in intent the collectors are different in some details of the implementation that make the parallel garbage collector better for some applications while the parallel young generation collector is better for others. Both should be tried to determine which might be better suited to a specific application. See similar questions...
