Transformer help

[harrychoo]

Hi all,

I'm lack of knowledge on how to read the spec, types of different transformer. I also not sure about the schematic representation for a certain transformer.

For example, given me an unknown transformer, i not sure how to see the specs (how many volt to how many volt and its VA) and the types and application of the transformer. I also not sure about the transformer schematic configuration. Let say the transformer is with 6 pins, i'm not sure which pins are in primary and secondary and how the schematic (or symbol) look likes.

And is it possible for me to find datasheet for transformer?

Thanks

To many Manufactures and too many ways of marking the wires make it difficult to nail down a chart or method of markings.
