Just a thought
- does anyone know what happens to a steel-core
transformer if its core goes above its Curie temperature?
Curie temperature is
when something that's magnetized loses it. Cores are not normally magnetized, except during
operation, so I
wouldn't worry about it.
Oh, I wasn't worried about it. Clearly it doesn't get that hot in
*normal* operation. I just got curious if anyone knew whether a hot
core would make its behaviour as a transformer significantly different
from ditto under normal conditions. Nothing directly
relevant to
fixing the thing.
