Re: [TCML] Slide choke question

[Sfxneon@xxxxxxx]

Hey Bama,
 
That is essentially how a neon bombarder slide choke is made. A square  
laminated core slides into a four sided tube, made with four pieces of phenolic  
board. End pieces go on each end of the square phenolic tube, making a square  
shaped spool to wind the coil on. Just scale to size for your own requirements, 
 but neon bombarder slide chokes go all the way to 22.5 kVA.
 
Also, bombarder chokes usually have a very simple mechanism that allows the  
choke to only be pulled out (until it's released), which holds it in position  
when you let go. Otherwise, you are fighting the pull of one very big  
solenoid! I'll explain it if anyone is interested.

If you  were to wind the usual coil for a slide choke, how would it work if
you  used an I section of a large transformer for the core?  Or would it  work
at all?  Thanks in  advance.
