Hi folks:a review of the engineering folder for the 8.1 indicates the following;
there are two separate 2.5 volt windings each is rated at 1.25Arms. In sereies you would have 5 volts at 1.25Arms. In parallel you would have 2.5 volts at 2.5Arms.
the 6.3 volt winding is rated at 2.5 Arms.
now... the question is could you draw say 2 amps rms from the 5 volt winding (the two 2.5 volt windings in series)? The answer is... you'd have to try it and check several things. first check and see what your loaded voltage is with a 2 amp draw on this winding. If the voltage drop is not too great then your ok on this front. Second... would be to check the temperature rise of the unit... does it make it run hot?
It is unlikely that running this one winding harder than the design center will cause much grief. Largely because it makes up a relatively small percentage of the total VA rating of the transformer.
But... it is a condition that the designer/engineer would have to evaluate in his specific application for it's suitability.
cheers,
MSL
