I'm creating a circuit to drive a MOT with variable output to a magnetron.
Please no nonsense high danger power supplies and the like. I'm aware of all this.
I haven't seem to find much on magnetron power supply hacking. Has anyone seen projects on such?
I've did a couple of simulations and given I need to maintain the output as a current source, while keeping the filament fed from the 3VAC winding, was pondering an output cap change to 0.25uF with an inverter driving the MOT to vary the output power. I'm somewhat concerned on the losses driving the transformer at 200 or 300Hz, however.
