Mike/David, many thanks for your replies. Quoth Mike Harrison at 2010-02-09 21:13... > You may get some regulation issues if different parts of OK, might try that.

Logic will be on a separate supply anyway.

Why would you wind in two different directions? understanding of phasing was correct or not. Haven't done anything like that since college and that was over 20 years of dead braincells ago. > Yes, you can have as many secondaries as you like.

The formula for gap assumes only the Ah, that's good! Gapping sounded too much like a Black Art.

Having it at all is critical. tape is good enough" sounds like one less variable with which to be concerned. > I'd stick with 12V if I were you. I made a bunch of flyback supplies I think I will.

Plenty of time for something to catch fire before the breaker finally trips. The LT1171 has onboard current limiting - it should never pull more than the rated current. Pop in a fuse between there and the DC supply and the risk of conflagration should be minimised. Now all I need to do is to build a turns counter so I can actually start Cheers M -- You must Sign in before you can post messages.
