Default Mystery transformer

Some time ago I found a small transformer in the junkbox.

It looks old, like from the forties or fifties era.

I don't remember where it came from or was cannabilized from.

Anyway, today I took the trouble to measure it.



Winding W1:

Rdc = 32ohm

Saturation at about 50V, W2 open

Inductance 8.82H @ 10V/50Hz

Inductance 6.58H @ 10V/100Hz



Winding W2:

Rdc = 29ohm

Saturation at about 37V, W1 open

Inductance 5.36H @ 10V/50Hz

Inductance 4.11H @ 10V/100Hz



Winding ratio N = 1.34

Impedance ratio = 1.79



F-response -3dB @ 27kHz with a 600ohm load on W2



+3dB @ about 80kHz with (almost) no load on W2

+22dB @ 186kHz resonance with (almost) no load on W2



Iron lamination dimensions 48x40x20mm

It's "tarred" and has NO airgap

Beside end taps, no additional taps on W1 and W2



What could the purpose have been?

Anybody any idea???



Telephone application?


If it was from telco- then most likely to match 600 to 900 .
