Re: Solid core inductance
200 volts at 500 micro farads is not enough to be lethal. trust me I've shocked myself with them before. I only have a bank of 2 capacitors, now if they were a full farad each THEn i could see taking some precautions, but this is not as dangerous as working at Sequa deli . Also, I think I may be able to secure the use of an oscilloscope so i will be able to determine the native frequency of the transformer. How would i go about measuring the inductance of the core. Also, i do not have to construct an air core inductor and measure it, being the value for the permeability of air is readily available on wikipedia.
