G'Day Guy's,
Rather than keeping on editing a new post with the results was best
Well the current draw on idle is 0.5 amps so around 12-13 watts and mig worked nicely so I'm now spewing I didn't bring my good welding helmet home from work this weekend
Ran thru a test with the grinder and vacuum and that 0.5 amp idle current was showing again so I do think time for a beer as my first inverter is finished and working
So for others with the areo sharp toriod just go with secondary output and leave the primary out of circuit.
Still got to finish the door and I think I'll put a fan on there to draw out the warm air from the toriod and choke.
Now for this choke I haven't tested it with a LCR meter but it's working so I'm happy about that and this choke idea did come from that thread thats close to 80 pages long and off memory it was tony that supplied the pic and description of it.
Cheers Bryan
