Just wondering about the types of meters being used take measurements here.  Is there a list of brands and models?  Are power meters lab grade, and able deliver true RMS readings regardless of frequency and wave shape?  Also wondering about power factor effects (not sure how inductive or capacitive your loads or measurement equipment are. My humble apologies if you have been asked this question a million times, but, as you know, taking accurate electrical measurements is a treacherous task.

NO WORRIES - GOOD QUESTIONS BUT STILL PREMATURE. (JUSTME WILL BE POSTING SOME PHOTO DATA SOON WHICH SHOULD HELP). WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT HOWEVER, ALL READINGS WILL BE DONE WITH TRUE RMS METERS @ 60 HZ.

Looking forward to that, 1/8 inch air gap! My Bi-square transformer test was bleeding flux and losing watts all over the place until I tightened the air gap.

Thanks, Larry

DID YOU PLACE YOUR AIR GAP UNDER THE PRIMARY WINDINGS?

>>CRANKYpants: PERHAPS YOU CAN LICENCE YOUR "ELITE STATUS MODIFIER PROGRAM" WITH JUST 21 POSTS? HOW DOES THAT WORK?

I know I had helped Harti out with some RF measurement questions, and I posted a PCB schematic for one of Dr. Stifflers "Thomas Oscillator" circuits, but I will be the first to admit that's not worth 6 stars ( 3 maybe...) .  So, It must have something to do with narcism, greed, and that tattered copy of  "Hacking for Dummies" under my pillow...

Okay, you really got my brain spinning there. Or you saying that your primary winding has a 1/8" non magnetic substance between the primary winding and the primary core?

Thanks, Larry
