LARGE Power Supply, Diodes
A friend has a power supply we're trying to figure out what to do with.
Anyone have a need for 6 volts DC at 25,000 AMPS!!!? It weighs a bit over 10,000 lbs. If not, how about some (6) 130VDC diodes at 4,000 AMPS? Interesting array of copper bus bar as one could imagine. Quite a transformer as well: 440v at 600amp input. Oh, yeah, a bank of 130VDC caps at 97,000 mfd, about 5 farad total. Any ideas???? Respectfully, Ron Moore When it was placed on the dual axle heavy steel tralier, just behind center, the back end of the Dodge dually pickup found air beneath the tires and proceeded downhill. Exciting day, all-in-all. |

Well, if you really wanted 12V, I believe a bit of re-busbaring would
give you that. I'm guessing that with 6 diodes, there's 12VCT on each phase. You could only get 8,000 Amps (I think) by using a bridge, though. Maybe only 4,000 because of the diodes. Oh well. Now, just getting those bars to move around...... Ron Ken Sterling wrote: A friend has a power supply we're trying to figure out what to do with. Anyone have a need for 6 volts DC at 25,000 AMPS!!!?

If the unit hasn't started to rot yet from the acid fumes, you might sell it to a chrome plating shop. |

It is basically in new condition. Built in mid 90's. I believe it was used
in an water/iodine separator of some sort. Had a chamber type device with it. Ron "Phillip Nevling" wrote in message ...
