Re: HT-37 transformer failure due to rapid STBY-->OFF-->STBY
Halden, your investigation is interesting and detailed. IMO, the DC [resistance only case, ignoring all inductances] is the extreme limit which won¡¯t be reached. Inductance does not go away,

Re: HT-37 transformer failure due to rapid STBY-->OFF-->STBY
I suppose one could use a zero-crossing SSR in series with a TRIAC.? TRIACs turn off when the current is at zero.? One would have to turn the TRIAC on before or at the same time as turning on the

HaldenTo answer your last question first, hysteresis causes the core to be magnetized.? The strength of the magnet in the core is dependent on where in the AC cycle the lagging magnetic field stopped

Thanks, all, for the comments and lessons! It seems we're converging on using zero-crossing transformers that are capable of switching whatever current the transformer would draw if only the winding's

Is $100 fair for a parts unit.? No finals. Shipping would be extra of course.

Re: My HT-45 HP-45 project.
That's right in the "zone" I measured mine with a Bird 43 at the input (250W slug )? and one on the output (1000W slug) into a Bird 500W load. With the power supply wired for 120, it did about 500W

What do you want for the HT-37.? We have a few HT-37 owners in the area that might rest better at night knowing there is a spare parts unit nearby. 73 dave wa3gin

Re: My HT-45 HP-45 project.
Thanks Rick! With 40W drive it's making ~500W per the drake meter and a dummy load. Meter is within about ~10% of reality. I'm happy. Just need to get the relays set up for RF and bias switching. 73,
