Toroidial high current transformer (540A 5V AC)

this was supost to be a filament transformer for my tesla coil. it was a bit to powerful. i used 10mm² wire for this.

that was so funny when they burnt together, a tip: put a current limiting resistor in ;)

@TheSuwadbureau the transformer was powerd from 230V AC Mains on a 16A braker. if that answers your question

[lbochtler]

@TheSuwadbureau it was stranded, it was the only way to wind such a larg winding on a toroidial transformer. the primary however is sold.

@lbochtler The wire you use, is it stranded or solid wire? sorry i am still a rooky.

[TheSuwadbureau]

@lbochtler What was the input power that gave you so much wattage?

@DjRaveKing lol....

[lbochtler]

@DjRaveKing why shuld i, im a tube colector, so i wouldnt distry them, and tube filaments only draw as much current as they nead to incandes, i actualy used the transformer in a project, were it suplied 6.3V to a 811A triode for the filament.

@lbochtler A tube ? O_o were you trying to destroy tubes :P

[lbochtler]

@DjRaveKing yap, i just wanted to have fun, it originaly designd it to heat a tube, but this happend :D well...
