Hammond 1750V – paper-wound AC30 Vintage output transformer

The Hammond 1750V is a paper-wound push-pull output transformer for the amplifier family documented by Hammond as AC30 Vintage. It provides 4 kΩ plate-to-plate, a 30 W rating and 8 and 16 Ω secondary taps.

The comparison reference is P-TVO30V. Despite similar headline ratings, the 1750V differs from the bobbin-wound 1750T AC30 Reissue version in winding type, inductance, resistance, lead length and mechanical construction.

Suitable applications

  • Vox AC30 Vintage amplifiers with a matching transformer and chassis version
  • Replacement applications around comparison reference P-TVO30V
  • Push-pull stages using four EL84 or 6BQ5 valves in total
  • New amplifiers requiring approximately 4 kΩ and a paper winding
  • Total loudspeaker loads of 8 or 16 Ω
  • Handwired AC30 projects only where complete technical compatibility is confirmed

AC30 Vintage and handwired versions

Hammond's official assignment is AC30 Vintage. A particular handwired version can be compatible where the primary load, speaker taps, mounting, lead routing and feedback phase correspond.

The word handwired alone is not a complete service-part identifier. Compare the original transformer, chassis revision and circuit before installation.

Comparison with the Hammond 1750T

Hammond 1750V
Paper winding, 6.30 H primary inductance, AC30 Vintage and P-TVO30V
Hammond 1750T
Bobbin winding, 15.2 H primary inductance, AC30 Reissue and P-TVO30R

The shared 4 kΩ, 8/16 Ω and 30 W headline ratings do not establish automatic mechanical or electrical interchangeability.

Safety notes

Lethal plate and signal voltages are present on the primary. Install the open transformer with complete touch protection and fully discharge the amplifier before service work.

Questions about selection and use

Which output transformer suits a Vox AC30 Vintage using P-TVO30V?

Hammond 1750V is intended for the documented AC30 Vintage application and comparison reference P-TVO30V and provides 4 kΩ plate-to-plate, 8/16 Ω taps, paper winding and a 30 W rating.

Which paper-wound 30 W output transformer suits four EL84 valves requiring 4 kΩ plate-to-plate?

Hammond 1750V is a suitable starting point for a correctly designed four-EL84 push-pull stage requiring 4 kΩ plate-to-plate and a total loudspeaker load of 8 or 16 Ω.

Can the Hammond 1750V be configured for 8 or 16 Ω?

Yes, the Hammond 1750V has a green 8 Ω tap and a blue 16 Ω tap. Use the connection matching the actual total loudspeaker impedance.

Can the Hammond 1750V be used in a handwired AC30 version?

Yes, the Hammond 1750V can be used in a handwired version when it technically corresponds to the documented AC30 Vintage application and the mounting, 4 kΩ primary and 8/16 Ω connections match.

The EU Directive on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (2011/65/EU = "RoHS 2") aims to exclude certain hazardous substances from electrical and electronic equipment or to restrict the use of certain substances in electrical and electronic equipment. These include substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and chromium, as well as certain brominated flame retardants and plasticizers. These substances may only be used in electrical and electronic equipment up to a maximum concentration limit, unless exemptions in the annexes to the directive permit their use under certain conditions. This can reduce and eliminate harmful substances and improve the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment. To find out whether the component you purchased from us is permitted in your device, please refer to the current directive or the current law applicable to your country. If you are a manufacturer, please feel free to contact us to find out whether the component you require can be tested and approved according to the current directives. We would be happy to assist you.
