Re: [TCML] NST Measurements



Hi Jeremy,

The 500Vac meter should do fine once we figure out what the h.. were
doing. The ammeters may come in handy later on. But I recommend waiting
until we resolve the unloaded NST turns ratio. For years we've based
mostly on ratings (which is still probably best to go by for turns
ratio), but the problem occurs when you have an unknown.

I'm not really looking forward to buying new components as they cost a bomb and i've already spent quite abit on my 15.4kJ cap bank and magnet wire =( needless to say i'll still have to spend another hundred or so buying axial polypropylene caps for my MMC cos all the caps i have atm are aluminium electrolytic.
