Test setup ready for a 14 turn primary which I pick up in the morning, basically a 200mm X 200mm round lump of copper and steel, a bit taller when the primary is fitted.
I'll check the output against the existing toroid stack, if it's in the ball park and other tests pass, I'll do the final assembly of the transformer.
Next is building the 5 inverter housings. Two separate housings allow each toriod 3 stack transformers to be lifted on and off separately, a 3rd housing for the two power boards, the 4th housing for the Nano controller, input switching, DC current sensors, LCD and other monitoring hardware. The 5th housing is for the AC HI/LO combiner, AC filtering, separate AC monitoring and AC circuit breakers.
This will make it easier for a repair or modifications to be carried out, otherwise I would need a block and tackle, as others have had to employ, if this inverter was constructed as a single housing assembly.
