RE: [TCML] 100kVA trannies as salvage?




Hi!,


        I have a  10kva pig that Id like to push 'up to' 70+ amps


  i now use a short peice of electric dryer element ( approx 3-3.5 ohms ) in a 5 gal bucket of water, it doesnt take long for the water to boil !!





          I have a bunch of transformer ' E ' & 'I' laminations . The winding window is close to 6" tall, so i thought of using 4" wide flashing. It comes in .012" - .014" thick ??? .....not sure how much current  4" / .012"  aluminum could handle ?





              Thanks!! ,dave B
