SANYO MOT

After opening up another microwave oven, I found a MOT with actual written
data. I thought I'll pass along the data for those interested in MOTs for
tesla application.

Transformer: SANYO   

Primary: 120 VAC, 60 cycles and 0.22 + or - 0.05 ohm

Filament: 3.15 VAC and 14 + or - 5 m ohm

HV secondary: 2240 VAC and 63 + or - 5 ohm

90 + or - 10 degrees C = 195 + or - 50 degrees F. I'm not sure what this
means. But if it operating temperature, a MOT can run pretty hot.

There was no KVA data, but the oven is rated for 15 amps.
