Sorry Ken,
I did not mean to trivialize or be
facetious but microwave transformers do have a reputation for biting. I will
refrain from further obvious comments!! J

There will probably be a fair bit of technical smoke comimg
out of Luton, but that is what our hobby is
all about, any other usefull sugestions?

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 regulation is poor, to
improve this the 'Core Shunts' should be removed, (these are laminations
between the two stacks), removal of these 'shunts' also has the effect of
considerably increasing the magnetisation current. The solution to this seems
to be to use two transformers, connecting the both primaries and secondary's in
series to restore the 2KV output voltage.
Any comments on this most welcome
Note for Mal, this is serious stuff not for appliance
operators.
