Hand Cranked vs Digital Transformer Turns Ratio
Hand Cranked vs Digital Transformer Turns Ratio
(OP)
Hi,
I would like to know the relative advantages / disadv of hand cranked v Digital TTR sets available from various vendors.
Any document would be of real help. Reply with points is also appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,

Obviously, the digital unit is easier to use in most instances.
The hand-crank units (Biddle 55003, 550005), while taking longer to get the results, and requiring a little more knowledge and technique, have never let me down with accuracy or dead batteries.

The electronic units are fun to play with, and properly used, can be faster, but it is not unusual to find results which don't match expectations, and the electronic units I've used don't seem to have the "oomph" to work in some situations.

I would rather like someone to give positive remarks on digital units also.

I guess the best way to put it is that when one has the electronic, digitalized unit, MOST of the time one can get accurate results faster and often with less training.
However, there are situations wherein the electronic unit may not work, and in that case the old coffee-grinder will likely give good results.
If I had a bunch of transformers to test, I would likely head out the door with the electronic unit, but I'd like to know that if things went south with it, I could still find the coffee-grinder on the shelf.
