RE: [TCML] Load Sensing Transformer



Hi Bert,
I was thinking the same thing! The MO inverter is great for 5-10KV but falls
off rapidly /2 as it starts at 2KV@30Khz.

Tony,
What is the max current and voltage? Any idea what the freq is?

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