Re: [TCML] Re: Capacitor Configuration



Hi, sorry if I missed it, can you advise basic configuration of your MOT PSU please, I de shunted my 6 MOT supply in a DC design (FW bridge, DC filter and ring up inductor) and have no heat problems but run times are always short.

IMHO the impact of shunts is way underestimated and the leakage inductance is quite large leading to the potential to resonate with the capacitive load. I have become a DC fan myself with MOT's

Thanks for your response Gary, I appreciate it. I thought it
would work but I needed to make sure.
As to your question about my 6 MOTs, they are holding up very well. Yes they are in oil. I destroyed 8 MOTs before I realized the secret....take the shunts out and make a good ballast. Removing the shunts made the MOTs run much cooler. In fact, with them in, the oil would be hot to the touch just after a few quick minute long runs. I think that the heat contributed to their failure. Now I can run the coil much longer and the oil never gets warmer than ambient temp. I haven't lost a transformer since.
Thanks again,

John S.
