resonant cap / measuring impedance ?
Original poster: "Laurence Davis by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-qwest-dot-net>" <meknar-at-hotmail-dot-com>
Lets just say I have an unknown transformer output. I don't know the
voltage or current and I want to calculate the resonant cap required
for it. To be specific, resonant charging with 120bps / 60hz static gap.
How would I do that?
Is there a meter that will measure impedance? (I bet there is)
Is impedance and voltage output the only numbers I need?
If I remove shunts from a transformer, does that change the impedance or
is that merely a function of the secondaries impedance/frequency
relationship? (which would mean.. no, shunt removal would not... unless
the shunts affect the inductance of the secondary.)
