HISTORY:
Those who are old enough will well remember the Ferguson brand name, Australian designed and made transformers. Unfortunately the name is no longer as they were acquired by Telectran International back in 1997.
Highly reliable transformers with very good characteristics, these Ferguson transformers could be found in many Australian made products including the broadcast industry (especially rack mount equipment)
FERGUSON TRANSFORMER
Circa early 1990's
Step down
240V AC input (only)
15-0-15V AC output @ 60VA (total power not per winding)
Unique pin arrangement used for all connections and because of this I am supplying the leads with the crimped connectors (colour coded)
Fully enclosed format
Dimensions: 80mm x 60mm x 55mm height
Mounting feet at each end extend the length from 80mm to 110mm
Weight: 1.2Kg
Supplied lead lengths:
Secondary (Blue/Yellow) 110mm (each) minimum length
Primary (Black/Red) 60mm (each) minimum length
COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED
Clean
NO physical damage at all
TESTING:
Removed from fully functioning (but obsolete) audio broadcast equipment.
Retested after removal:
No load secondary voltage measured at 15.86V each winding (two separate windings) OR 31V across both of the secondaries. Expected current capabilities would be up to 2 Amps from each winding which is perhaps a bit "grunty" for low power Op amp circuits but a great transformer for a low voltage variable bench top power supply.
