Re: [TCML] mot questions






You can easily ballast a MOT to any input current level required. I use a 12 inch long 1.5 x 1.5 inch core with approx 200 turns of #12 AWG. I have several of these cores --- contact me offlist if you need some.

I use a pair of 2 kV MOTs connected with sec in series for 4 kV ACrms output. On the primary side I prefer to run each MOT off a separate 20 Amp 120 VAC circuit --- in this method they will not trip the breakers. I run mine at 16 Amps with the ballast described. Works great for approx 4 kW input at 4 kV. Using the Piranaha circuit they deliver a voltage doubled, rectifier input of approx 10 kV DC into the oscillator circuit. I can also send you this data if you need it.

Subject: [TCML] mot questions


Hi all, I've been "lurking" for quite a while on the list, but I'd like to ask a
couple questions now re: the use of mots.

Let's assume I'm ballasting a mot with a mot. If both are equally rated (1kw), what would be the (approximate) maximum amp draw I should see? We're talking
U.S., 110v,60hz.

I don't know if this is feasible or if it's been tried, but rather than short the ballast's high side directly, what if it were run through a dimmer switch?
Would that work to give some leeway on the output current?

On the transformer mot, what should be done with the few windings that are used for mw controls (or whatever they're used for)? Short them out, pull them out, leave open...? On the ballast mot I'm assuming that these should be shorted,
also. If not, please let me know.

Thank you all in advance for your help with these questions.

Neal.
