Re: Setting up a pole pig's wiring
Original poster: "Barton B. Anderson" <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Hi Gerry,
H1 is connected to a bushing and one outer hv winding.
H2 is connected to a bushing. The wire from the bushing is the common 
to the tap.
The tap wiring (1 through 5) run down between the LV and HV windings 
attaching near the bottom of the winding.
There is no hv center connection to the core. It's a single winding 
which is wound around the LV winding. H1 appears to be nearest the 
inside of the coil, so the H2 would end up towards the outer side 
nearest the outer core. That's why I referenced H2 to RF ground. 
However, I doubt it makes any difference which hv bushing runs to the 
core, otherwise, we probably would have had issues in the past by now.
Two HV coils would make no sense (electrically) for single phase 
buck-boost transformer (a few hundred volts). My diagram on the pig 
for the hv side shows a single coil with the tap diagram in the 
center, however, that doesn't indicate two coils. The taps must be on 
one end of the winding for the typical few hundred volt taps.
Take care,
Bart

Hi Bart,
When you say H2 is the side closes to the core, are you saying the 
inner winding of the H2 coil goes to the bushing.  Could you 
describe the HV winding geometry??  one coil or two???   and how the 
inner/outer windings are connected???   My nameplate suggest two HV 
coils, but if this is the case, it would make no sense to me why the 
inner winding of one of the coils would be brought out to the HV 
bushing.   Everything you have said would make perfect sense if 
there was only one HV coil.

You're concern is certainly valid because we got our X's and H's 
mixed up. H2 should be at RF ground. This is the HV side closest to 
the core and when looking at the LV bushings, H2 is the HV bushing 
on the right.
