Hello,
I am trying to build a inductive bearing heater. The idea is that when a circular metal bearing is placed on a transformer core ( on tbe secondary side ) it will create a short circuit and heat up.
So basically instead of the primary winding there will be the bearing attached. I guess many companies make bearing heaters based in this concept. Here is a video -
What I want to understand is my theory correct and if so what should be the ideal rating of such a transformer?
Thanks
