What is the maximum D.C. bias for this transformer?

It doesn't appear as though we have that spec available for this transformer in particular. Both Hammond 8 Watt versions 125C and 125CSE have a max DC bias of 60 mA. Someone might consider that rating as a ball park reference for similar transformers, but you may want to consider the Hammond's instead of P-T291 if you need a guarantee on the rating.
I believe that some push pull output transformers are built without an air gap in the core. In the primary of a push pull transformer the DC bias currents will cancel out provided the plate currents of the 2 tubes are equal. Then there will be no DC bias on the transformer. If the plate currents aren't equal, the difference between the plate currents is the DC bias on the transformer. If the transformer has no air gap, I suspect it would have very little tolerance for any DC bias.

Hello,
I have a Hallicrafters SX-62 (not the SX-62A) which I believe has a bad audio output transformer. What would be a suitable replacement?
Thanks,
Lou

you can use P-T31 for this radio.it works great.

Is the brown wire center tap for primary? No drawing shown for the primary side; rather 2 drawings for secondary connections! Thanks!

On this transformer, the red wire is the center tap.

We do not have sufficient cross reference material to verify the transformer required for your unit. If you can provide the specs required for the unit, please contact us direct and we can attempt to get you a replacement.

Please let me know if this transformer will work in my Newcomb phonograph, which I am converting into a guitar amplifier. It has Push-Pull 50L6's driving an 8 ohm speaker. The schematic calls for a TR-215, but the primaries of currently available versions have no center tap. I have seen a similar schematic with 25L6's that calls for a 3000 ohm primary, but does not give a speaker impedance. I can send the schematics.
Thank you

The lowest primary this transformer is rated for is 4000 ohms so it does not look like it will be compatible with your requirements.

My radio sends 400 dc volts to the transformer. Can this handle that?

As long as you are not exceeding the power rating of the transformer this will be fine.

Will this work with a single ended 6F6 output?

This transformer is meant for use with push-pull configurations. The P-T31 is a single ended transformer we carry that might be better for your application. Customers have reported that it works well with a 6F6 but please check your application to verify this.

Are the blue and brown wires on the primary used for both an impedance of 4k ohms and 9k ohms with the red wire always being a center tap or is the red wire used with one of the others for an impedance of 4k ohms?

Z(P) is the impedance across the full winding, blue to brown.

Hello,
I need a audio output transformer to match up with a 6K6 GT power output pentode tube. Will this transformer work? I only have a 3.2 ohm speaker to hook up to it. Will that be a problem?

This transformer works with 6K6 tubes in a push pull configuration. A 4 ohm speaker would be preferred over 3.2 ohm since 4 ohms matches the recommended configurations in the datasheet.
Product Reviews
This is a great product, and a great company to buy from! I have bougth 2 transformers from them now!
Runs cool and sounds great. The mounting holes even matched!
Great for TRF Radios audio stages
Great transformer! Used it as a replacement for a failed audio output transformer in an old radio using 2 - #45 output tubes. Replaced the trashed dynamic speaker with a PM, it sang like a bird!
Worked great for my application!
Excellent versatile universal transformer with very good price.
A real lifesaver at a reasonable price. I have used this transformer in several different radios and always been very happy with it.
This seems to be the correct output transformer for Emery Sound Superbaby and Microbaby amps. It fits good and sounds great, so I'm calling it a win.
These are great as I work on old radios I keep a couple of these always on hand!
Works great for a Philco 91X.
