do you think it can really handle 50000A if my calculations are correct that's 25000wRe: Wicked transformer

In the video he's only putting 240V x 50A into the primary, so it's only ~12kW, but if he's correct in assuming the transformer can handle 50kW (or 50kVA, and I realise I need to multiply by PF, or something), then, as it's a step down transformer to 0.5V, you are looking at something of the order of 100,000A, potentially. Running as it is set up in the video, it's only around 25,000A. (I think)

he also knows what hes talking about and hes the one with the transformer and it will probibly have said 50Kw on it or simler,
saddly that transformer is no more, he destoryed it :(
