Can anyone suggest an interesting use for microwave oven transformers .
Regards Geoff.
Ham radio enthusiasts use them in power supplies for high-power vacuum
tube transmitters.

Although they're not actually terribly good for this use, as their design
makes them self-limiting by way of core saturation, as I understand it.

Core saturation blows fuses. Don't think that's the mechanism going
on here. But there are magnetic shunts that increase the leakage
inductance and limit current. Take out the shunts for non-limited
applications.
