Has anybody here measured the voltage and/or current output of a MOT in resonance with caps?
ScottH, Sun Mar 26 2017, 07:31PMOr dual MOTS with resonant caps? I know a MOT without caps puts out 2,100v.

Have you, ScottH, ever measured the voltage and/or current output of a MOT with no capacitors?

Yes. My instruments won't measure it accurately with the caps on. I used a 37v input from an AC welder and used math to convert it to 120v input. 120v input on the primary will overvolt my multimeter and short it out when measuring the secondary. I calculated my MOT to put out approx 2,350v (with 120v input), and 1 amp (running on 37v).
