This is an Inverter supply. The output is voltage doubled and runs at
several KHz. I made a voltage tripler attached to one of these with a
switching of the output diodes as a cap charger. Be carefull with this as
it
is quite dangerous. To bad the frequency isn't a bit higher.
There is a schematic of a Panasonic inverter and theory of operation
somewhere on the Inet. I have it in my archives somewhere if you are
interested.

Subject: [TCML] Different sort of MOT
Like many other I expect, I harvest parts from cast-off microwave ovens.
I
don't usually bother with MOTs as power sources, but I found an unusual
one
I am curious about.
Yesterday I got a working Panasonic oven, and the transformer is a light
item with a plastic frame, a few turns of braided primary and a few more
turns of secondary around a simple ferrite D shaped core. (It looks more
like an old flyback than the standard MOT). Its mounted on a circuit
board
with an imposing array of resistors, diodes, and film capacitors.
Is this of any use in our hobby, other than to tear down for parts?
Paul
