I have read of a couple of references to using transformer from old microwave oven, removing HV secondary, and rewinding with 12 AWG wire to create a high current transformer.
I have removed 2Kv secondary from a couple of microwave xformers but have not given rewinding a try yet.
Has anyone got experience going this?
I'm curious if results are reliable, issues while hum / vibrations in laminations, etc.
Cheers

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
This is what I have powering my induction heater experiment... about 100V 10A (since the secondary comes from a smaller MOT). I also have a bundle of 8AWG that gives about 9VCT, good for electrolysis after some schottky diodes (anyone for 12V at 50A?).
I would recommend making a bobbin out of stiff cardboard to wind on. Fit it loosely so it can be placed easily.

Yea,the shunts can be a problem..
