How Do You Wire A Square D Transformer?
A square D transformer uses a squared loop or ring of magnetizable material as the medium through which electrical energy is transferred from one electrical circuit to another. The square D is basically four bars of iron welded together. One of the two circuits serves as the energy source—referred to as the primary circuit. Depending on how the transformer is wired, it generates a current in the secondary of higher or lower voltage and current than the primary’s. To satisfy the conservation of energy law, if the current is higher in the secondary, its voltage must be lower (and vice-versa). Test the square D for magnetizability before beginning all the wire winding. It would be a shame to wrap a lot of wire just to have to unwrap it again. Testing can be done with a simple kitchen magnet. Just make sure the magnet sticks to the square D. Then turn the magnet around and see if the other side sticks to the square D also. This second test makes sure the square D is able to reverse the d
