Re: High Voltage Check

Brings back memories of testing the H.V. used on the magnetron in the radar system of the USAF F-102 on the mock-up bench at Ramstein AB back in the early to mid-60's. I would clip several USM-6's in series and spread them apart on a large piece of plywood. Then I'd clip them onto the H.V. points in the T/R unit and power up the thing. I'd stand back about 2-3 feet and read each meter -- then add the values together. It was probably just plain dumb luck that I recieved an _honorable_ discharge instead of receiving some sort of _other_ discharge.

Several have already answered your question... feed the transformer a lower AC voltage and measure the correspondingly lower output.

I got bit by a NST once, it did NOT feel good, however my finger wasn't reduced to ash as it could have been by a microwave transformer. Both are dangerous but the as others have said, the current from a NST is much lower.

That'll get you a lot of help. You come off like someone who knows nothing. Expect to be treated as such. almost everyday. And you don't know what electricity can do until you lose your hearing and you are sick to your stomach for 15 minutes. There are old electricians and there are bold electricians but there there are no old, bold electricians
