ABSTRACT
The manufacture of low voltage high current power supply using the MOT
(Microwave Oven transformer) has been done. The purpose of this work is
to convert low voltages into high currents by utilizing simple electrical
equipment. This work use of varying voltages and different windings which
are changed on the secondary winding section with a cable size of 240 mm
2, NYA cable type. The test is carried out with a series circuit, parallel circuit,
and single circuit by utilizing a voltage of 30 V, 60 V, 90 V, 120 V and 5
different variations of winding. The results of this test provide knowledge of
new methods that can be applied to iron smelting.

I. INTRODUCTION
Design of making this power supply is based on the
need for high electric current The times that are very
fast now need progress sufficient technology modern,
for the sake of smoothing the life of the economy and
wheels health. Therefore the need for electronic
devices that are able to meet these needs, basically
humans really need quite a lot of electricity in
everyday life but because of the limited supply of
electricity, we are required to make savings on a large
scale, so the need for tools that can convert low
voltages to be high current or more commonly
known as power supply. For the use of this power
supply there are still not many around us, because it
requires special handling by parties who are skilled
enough, so that the tool to convert low voltage into
high current can only be used in certain tools. The
large number of tools used to convert low voltages to
high currents has not been supported by the
availability of tools. The use of a power supply to
convert low voltage to high current is not cheap
enough, but in a day's wasted many used items in the
form of an electric microwave can be used for the
power supply.low threshold. DC high current
engineering components consist of: IGBT diode
(insulated-gate bipolar transistor), oscillator, driver
and MOT. Under these conditions, a problem arises
to generate high currents with the simplest possible
circuit. One of the methods of generating high
voltage currents is using a microwave oven
transformer (MOT).
