Microwave transformer reversed?

<< < (3/3)

..and 3a @ 24v is plentiful, you'd have to live on the moon not to find it  :-DD  You're not looking hard enough. Place an AD in the local newspaper "cash and pick-up for broken stereo's" - have fun tearing stuff apart, that's how we learn.

I wouldn't recommend this.

In all of the microwave transformers I've seen, one side of the secondary is connected to the transformer's core. To use it in reverse, it would involve connecting the neutral of the mains to the core, which is dangerous because the neutral could be live under certain fault conditions.

Cliff Matthews:
Yep, this is why when testing the premise, it was disconnected..  ;)
