Why is it that Saturable Reactors are so rarely used in HV Hobbyist
applications such as Tesla Coils?
We've been using Variacs for generations, we're great at Voltage control.
But when it comes to current limiting the hobby world tends to fall short
and go with some incredibly crude solutions.
Saturable Reactors seem to be the MiniDisc of the HV world. They work,
they're an elegant solution, but they're hard to find and weird so nobody
ever uses them.
Thoughts? Opinions? Wild conjecture?
I'm genuinely curious and hoping someone has some ideas on this.
