Re: [TCML] Load Sensing Transformer



Thanks for the explanation Tony! With a FWB HV rectifier, it sounds like it might make a great capacitor charging supply.

Hi All,

A "Load Sensing" neon transformer is something fairly new, and is designed to output a constant current over a wider range of voltages. It was meant to replace a number of different sized transformers in order to reduce the inventory in the shop or on the truck. Think of it as a "one size fits all" transformer, replacing transformers from 2 to 12 kV. The down side to that is if you only need a 2 kv NST, you pay for a 12kV NST. They are actually electronic power supplies and probably unsuitable for coiling, but go ahead and try it. Tony Greer

If that is the case, then who knows. I've never tried such a device for powering a coil. Bonding transformers are generally 0-12mA and adjustable from 0-5000V. But if there are units capable of 12kV at 35mA, then it might be possible (assuming the current sense is defeated).

Any more info  on the tranny?

Take care,
Bart
