RE: Current Limiting and Impedence

Hello Paul

The I leg of the EI core of a MOT is pressed on and the seam welded.
After sawing off an I leg, one can see that the surfaces were not ground
to achieve super intimate contact. So a MOT is a transformer with a
gapped core.

I use two MOT's in series as a HV transformer for the power supply
providing approx +-5kV once fed through a voltage doubler arrangement.
These have the shunts removed, but are not gapped, they are working as
transformers.

Paul.
