I can't see any attachment but the trick to making windings as equal as possible is to start with two wires and wind them side by side. When you have the desired number of turns, join the wire from one winding to the other end on the other winding. That becomes your CT point and the identical windings then work in opposite directions to give opposite phase signals.
Brian.
Quadfilar winding, and join the 4 windings in the obvious way to give the ratio you need?
Or wind the thing with small coax, centre is primary, braid is secondary and tap the braid half way?
The bast way very much depends on how you wish to trade off leakage inductance for inter winding capacitance.

Sorry for misunderstanding, the picture makes it clearer now. That should work fine, wind four identical coils and join them into two series pairs, ignore the center joint on one and use the ends as A & B. The secondary side is wired in exactly the same way but you use the cener tap as E. The CE and ED winding is the same way around, essentially it is a single coil with a tap in the middle. Looking at it from point E, the windings appear to go in opposite directions so C and D will be out of phase.
When you say "twist them together" I'm not sure if you mean to twist then along the whole length of the wires or only at the joints. Twisting them all the way will ensure they are subject to the same magnetic fields but at the expense of increased capacitive coupling between the wires. A compromise might be to twist the two primary wires along their length and seperately twist the two secondary wires together.

Think of the secondary winding as being like a center tapped mains transformer. If it was a 12-0-12 transformer you would get 24V across the ends of the windings so they must be wound in the same direction. In a full wave rectifier using two diodes you would ground the center tap (the '0') and expect one end of the winding to be positive while the other was negative. Despite being physically wound in the same direction, when viewed from the center the winding seem to head off in opposite directions.
Brian.
Correct!
Brian.
Brian,Yes, the convention is to draw a dot at the start end of the winding in schematics like that so it is obvious which end is which. Sorry but with the equipment available to me at the moment I can't draw schematics easily, I have to do it by hand and photograph the result with my mobile phone! Easier said than done when you are also using the phone to access Edaboard!
