Re: What is a reasonable magnetising current for a mains transformer?
Yes a lot of Japanese equipment was designed for 100/110V: there was a bit of a 'thing' a couple of decades back when some grey-import Japanese ham-radios started to arrive here and to 'make them work' on UK mains the two 100V primaries [which were usually wired in parallel for 100V supplies] were rewired-in-series.
They got rather hot but produced plenty of RF output.
For a while.
No point crying to the legitimate UK importers/distributors when the thing inevitably went pop!
