A good friend of mine works at an undisclosed location they where 'deacquisitioning' some old equipment, so I was able to get my hands on (3) very large X Ray tank transformers. Made by Philips.
So here I am lifting the core out of the oil for inspection,
**broken link removed**
I am using an Home made lift made from a 1,500lbs industrial steel garage door opener
The projected power is 15,000 Watts specs are about 240V ~50Amp calculated output can be as high as 80KV
**broken link removed**
The main core
**broken link removed**
**broken link removed**
The high voltage DC full wave bridge rectifier
**broken link removed**
High voltage output current meter.
**broken link removed**
**broken link removed**
Size comparison, they are around 500lbs with oil and about 350lbs bare.
So You know I had to test it out!
**broken link removed**
The gap at the top is over 1 foot!
**broken link removed**
And here are my 30amp current limiting resistors
**broken link removed**
Control circuitry on the left.
And a Video for fun.
I was using a 100Amp contactor with Dead man switch for this test.
