that is an iron core not a ferrite core...

i have 130 pounds of this shit that would take fuckin forever got a faster way?

My husband and I scrap transformers all the time, we usually get them pried open, but Ive been stuck on one that has ALOT of that glue/adhesive..how do you get that off since I cant pry it because theres so much of it!

[rtty21]

@Langicious When I pry apart transformers, I can usually break the adhesive bond by apping on it with a scarping tool. However, if this fails, i don't know what to do. I'm sorry I wan't much help. I hope you can figure it out!

@donnyab lmao

[rtty21]

you should start at the edges  :)

I find it hard to get the middle part of the "E" loose when starting taking my transformer apart. Mine has plenty of glue. :P

[rtty21]

It most likely is. I honestly don't have a good grasp of what ferrite even is.

[mondays89]

Isn't that an iron core?

[rtty21]

@mondays89 It most likely is. I honestly don't have a good grasp of what ferrite even is.

@rtty21 Iron is used more for mains power and stuff. (60 hz) A ferrite core is used for higher frequencies closer to the Khz range. Great vid.

[rtty21]

@MadScienist thanks! my friends was informing me of this a while ago. i should make annotations to correct myself...

[mondays89]

@rtty21 I think ferrite is used more with higher frequencies, radios are one use because of the high frequencies that are used to broadcast the airwaves and stuff. I'm definitely not an expert in this area though.

@rtty21 They're iron plates, ferrite would be too brittle to take apart the way you did.
