beautiful

I don't follow what you are trying to show us with the meter ?

meters shows no load current, line voltage, secondary voltages, etc...

Very nice Build! jer

Very nice work! I wound 1000s of stators for my company but this is truly a work of art. Where can I get parts and is there a site that shows how to wind these?

Thanks
WO

Quick question?

At what Ohm?

Thanks
WO

parts are all available locally in manila, the irons used costs P110 per kilo, this traffo used about 9.5kgs. so total cost of irons is P1045 or U$24...

stateside, you can get then from Thomas and Skinner.........Thomas and Skinner

this is a good read: http://www.geofex.com/Article_Folder...es/xformer.htm

^in case you are wondering, secondary #4 is the "electrostatic shield" made out of a single layer of copper foil sheet...

Thanks Tony,

I will be reading after diner.
