I have a couple of water cooled low voltage high current transformers
like these:

They are not the usual kind and have very heavy copper bars and pipes
for windings and cooling.

I want to know how I can delaminate them in an environmentally
conscious fashion. Thanks

There is some one out there that would pay you a whole lot more
for that than just copper weight.
If you could just find them!


It is the second part that is the problem.

Any Idea what the voltages are?


+- 10v and +- 5v.


Holy moly, at what 1000 amps!


I will scrap it, I am sure that selling it would be difficult. Lately
I have been making an effort to scrap more and sell less.


I understand, and shipping it would cost big dollars.

Thaw frozen water pipes that're several miles long...

Seriously though, local plating shops may be keenly interested.
