Re: LTR vs. STR for pigs was Re: PFC Question

He, he,

I've contemplated that road once or twice. Lets see, rod stack, pvc form, much higher L, probably best to submerge in oil, high voltage transients, nope, I'll stick with the low voltage side simply because it's easy, stable, and clean. But yes, it could and probably has been done (I'm assuming you are not suggesting resistive ballasting here).

Take care,
Bart

you guys are making your life more difficult by yourselves, you create
unnecessary questions by yourselves - the ballast should be at the
secondary side of the transformer - it`s just that simple. discussions
on this topic started to appear as early as 96 (if you interested) :-)
