Hello,
I have a step-down transformer (240v to 110v), and I want to change it to produce 120v instead of 110v, is it okay if I just reduce the number of coils in its primary to produce the desired voltage? how can I test the electrical components in its board (capacitors, resistors), to check if they can handle the increase in voltage (+10v)? or should I look at some sort of datasheet for each component?
also if want to discharge a capacitor, can I connect it to a fan or light bulb to slowly discharge it instead of shorting the legs of the capacitors? I don't have resistors laying around.
Thanks.
