Now the big core was wound with that big rectangle wire with a winding on each outer leg. There are a heap of them here and 99% are old 3 phase mig welders and big ones at that. The guy thats owns them has asked me to help him setup a off grid home on a property he bought for his retirement and with my first Mad board eh I got 25 of those big fets so may aswell put em all on   Now finding a transformer to power that board is where I'm heading with these old welders. I did do a search on the forum for E-core inverter builds and nothing came up but eh nothing ventured nothing gained and after all it is all just plain fun isn't it. Cheers Bryan
