explain how 70volt transformers read shorted to ground on ouput side of anp

[300poundbassman]

Im working on a samsom 70 volt pwr amp,all the outputs are npn and the output goes directly to the output transfomer,theres 42 volts om both sets of outputs pull the transfomer off shows 19volts on on side and 30 on the other yet when connected it dosent burn up the out puts help Its been a while refresh my memory thank you captain out

It is a transformer, and transformers are nothing more than coils of wire wrapped around some iron. You are measuring the resistance of that wire, which will be pretty low. meanwhile transformers induce curent into the secondary from current through the primary winding. It works on turns ratios, not resistance.

Inductance allways had trouble with that and impeadance
