- Modulation transformer for Collins KW-1 and Johnson Desk KW
- PP 810 modulators to parallel 4-250A's
- Primary 2400VCT (18000 ohms CT) and 1800VCT (11600 ohms CT)
- Secondary 1768 VAC at 283 mA CCS, 6250 ohms RFPA
- 500VA total output
- EI-175 EE-stack core, approx. 35 lbs
- Made in Canada; REACH and RoHS compliant
The PWDM13037 is a modulation transformer for the Collins KW-1, and the Dahl ordering table also lists it for the Johnson Desk Kilowatt. In both cases it couples push-pull 810 modulators to parallel 4-250A RF amplifiers, making it a key part for anyone restoring one of these kilowatt-class AM transmitters.
The primary is 1800/2400 VCT at 18000/11600 ohms plate-to-plate. The drawing details the taps: terminals 1 to 5 give 18000 ohms CT at 2400VCT, terminals 2 to 4 give 11600 ohms CT at 1800VCT, and terminal 3 is the center tap. The secondary, terminals 6 to 7, is 1768 VAC at 283 mA CCS into a 6250 ohm RFPA load. Total output is rated 500VA.
The unit uses an EI-175 EE-stack core. The Collins KW-1 listing gives Style 10 and the Johnson Desk KW listing gives Style 8. The approximate weight is 35 lbs, with a shipping weight of 35 lbs (15.88 kg). The drawing label marks it Made in Canada. It is REACH and RoHS compliant, with UPC 623980240275 and UNSPSC 39121301.
Dahl magnetics are usually built to order one at a time; confirm availability by phone or e-mail. Stock units can usually be shipped next business day.
