I thought there were already too many poles, that's why you voted for Brexit

 

[Evans Electric]

Oooh  you can't say that .....you'll be running down the Irish next   :innocent

Reconfigure as an autotransformer and you can get 340V

Simple transformers are reversible, but there are losses in the core; the power which causes it to get warm. Consequently when used reverse to design the output is going to be slightly lower than the originally rated input.

its a 3.3kva. rarely used for anything more than a grinder / drill. its been sat in the workshop and never taken to site for a while now either

Not sure why anyone would be wanting to carry a huge iron brick around with them? 

The only time I have used a 110v transformer on site was to charge MEWPs everything else is lithium ion these days. 

 

[Andy™]

dont carry any transformer these days. its either battery or 230

You should have also mentioned the magnetising inrush current would be unproportionately higher than when used as designed.
