2.25:1 balun

Vicenç
Hi to all the crew

I am on the way of refurbishing my Lightning Bolt 2 element delta loop
and I am looking either for a spare transformer to feed it or
alternatively for a schematic diagram to homebrew the transformer. If
anybody owns one of those transformers and would be willing to part with
it, please let me know. Any comments or suggestions on how to build this
2.25:1 transformer will be welcome.
Thanks in advance and best 72

Vicenç, EA3ADV

Vicenc,

For an impedance transformation of 2.25:1, you need a turns ratio of 1.5:1.
You will have to determine the minimum and maximum number of turns required
from the core data and the impedance it will connect to.  As a general rule,
you need about 5 times the impedance in the winding as you have in the load.
Of course the wire size and core size must be adequate to handle whatever
power you will subject it to.
