Whoa! DON"T PANIC !!
Microwave oven transformers are kind of neat things. The primary and secondary are loosely coupled because they are not wound one on top of the other. That makes it easy to take off just the high voltage secondary.( the one with many turns of fine wire ). Once you do that most of the danger is gone. Not that 115 volt house power is danger free, but it is not the same as about 1200 volts at close to an amp. While you are at it take off that filament winding. Now you can wind a few turns of heavy wire and have a source of low voltage. Dan |
