they work well,, removal of the shunts helps with the regulation hopefully yours will have the grounded side of the winding brought out to a terminal where you can open it and make a full wave supply
From a Wiki, Magnetic shunts can be used to limit current or regulate voltage. This regulation is accomplished by inserting a ferrous magnetic shunt into the transformer core, such that the magnetic
Hello everyone. Does any one have experience in using microwave oven transformers in high voltage power units, I acquired two of these at the weekend. I was informed that as they stand the voltage re
Hi. Not sure what they do, this was info from the person who sold them to me, he seemed to know a lot about themand using them in PSUs. Maybe someone in this forum can write a short explanation for u
I was informed that as they stand the voltage regulation is poor, to improve this the 'Core Shunts' should be removed, (these are laminations between the two stacks), removal of these 'shunts' also h
Hello all, I have recently done some tests on a pair of identical transformers removed from two identical ovens. Perhaps unfortunately, I removed the magnetic shunts before doing any no-load testing.
