Due to MOT transformer unloaded saturation significant current is wasted as heat if using the MOT to make a power supply.
My Premise is: If I place a full wave bridge rectifier before the Primary the 120Hz pulsed DC should limit the magnetic saturation. This should then reduce power lost to heat. Power lost to eddy currents is less of a factor.
Sounds good?
