RE: Saturable Reactors (fwd)

Hello All,

We have been having an on going discussion about ballasting pole pigs and
the effects of the XC/break rate in the secondary, etc reflected back into
the primary ballast XL and resulting in cancellation and higher than
expected currents.

I think it would be an excellent project to come to a suggested saturable
reactor that would be useful to must of the list applications, Sans arc
welders, home depot coils of wire, and MOT strings; if for no other reason
than for safety sake. But such a plan would be great!

Excuse the cross post but your recent threads relate to just that.

Jim Mora

I wrote a couple of papers that touched on these a few years ago
for Circuit Cellar Online.  Look at the "High Voltage" and "Metglas
(Applications of Amorphous Metals)" papers in the table near the bottom
of the page at:

Many of the links no longer work as the papers where written a long time
ago in Internet Time, but still has some useful SR info.
