I have been told that these types of Transformers are toroidal on the inside

If they are toroidal this may be a really cheap way to get a giant toroidal Transformer

There is a guy on YouTube that has a 10000 watt Chinese board just like mine

he hooks it up to one of these type of Transformer

In his video he says that these are toroids

If anyone decides to buy that one of these they need to do their research to make sure they are toroidal

I have seen these for as low as $110 on eBay

I would really appreciate it if some of the greats on here would give their opinion on these type of Transformers

I've seen one guy at YouTube using those transformers with an huge chinese inverter board from Aliexpress and a tesla battery bank.

I will try to find the video.

That first one you put up is here
Looks like they make different input output options.

You'll have to find out what's inside them to see if it can be useful.

If the bloke on youtube is using them so you would assume it's reasonably feasible.

Here is the second one.

Being made in Mexico you could always ask them for just the cores or get them to wind you a custom one.

Here is the actual company that makes them, they list toroids on the site.Edited by renewableMark 2019-06-03

I think you would probably have to rewind these to get the voltage right

I don't know how hard it would be to get it out of the potting material if they're all potted

The guy in the YouTube video that has one of these had the right voltage to begin with

Thanks for the link renewablemarkEdited by BenandAmber 2019-06-03
