Abstract: A voltage regulating transformer is disclosed which includes a magnetic core and a primary winding connectable to an alternating current source for inducing an alternating magnetic flux in the magnetic core. The secondary winding comprises a plurality of paired sectioned windings responsive to the magnetic flux in the magnetic core. Each pair of the plurality of paired sectioned windings has a first and a second foil with a dielectric interposed between the first and the second foils thus creating a plurality of capacitors. One pair of the plurality of paired sectioned windings has a different number of turns than the other of the plurality of paired sectioned windings creating a potential imbalance upon interconnection of the paired sectioned windings.
