Hi Forum,
I am designing a capactive discharge circuit that pulses current into an inductor. To charge the caps, the input transformer sees near "short circuit current". I have found that with a small transformer the current is limited about right just by the high impedance of the transformer. I now need to find a bigger transformer, but cannot find the impedance or short circuit current specs on the transformers. Are there any guidlines for knowing about what these parameters might be; like 10X the rated current, or something?
Thanks!
Mike
