This test was made with reduced power, to not stress the clampmeter, who only could handle 2000A peak.

  • ZOMG!!!! JESUS CHRIST FOR GODS SAKE!!!! Is he wearing sandals and socks??

  • When you have one turn on the secondary, make it a big one, and make it count ;)

  • What was the voltage on the secondary?

  • Thats one big ass transformer.

  • @pieznice29

    it all seems incredibly unsafe: RIP

  • I been finding with transformers with the primary on one leg and the secondary on the second leg that the due to the long magnetic flux path, the coupling between the windings is poor. The solution is to layer the primary and secondaries over the top of each on the same leg. The other problem is when the secondary is heavily loaded stray leakage flux causes large eddy currents to flow in the steel mounting clamps holding the core together, causing the mounting assembly to get very very hot!

  • You can tell the video is going to be good because theres a bottle of beer kicking about...

  • Is that 4 parallel turns on the secondary?
