Default microwave oven inverter P.S. revisited


Ok, this should work. http://tinyurl.com/6at4zu

I mean the primary of this thing uses litz wire that looks like 10AWG
wire about 13 turns around the core
and they using 4 strands of 28 AWG to run the filament
The HV secondary measures only 6.8 ohms DC.



I'm glad you mentioned that. If the core is ferrite and it's gapped,
then the litz makes sense to reduce eddy current losses from the
fringing field sprayed out of the gap. A gapped core would also most
likely mean it is a flyback.

It really is amazing the power density SMPS can achieve. Though the
overload capacity available from big hunks of iron and copper isn't
to be discounted lightly. I had to pick up a 10KW autotransformer
today. I don't know how much it weighed but I'd guess 130lbs, or
there about. The two transformers in the 10KW SMPS are maybe four
pounds total.
