ehsjr said:"Don't bother" ?? How much stuff have you experimented with
this way to arrive at that conclusion? For the record, I've
done it many times - although I've never dried toroids.
As to running the fan if he wants to - we're talking about
a microwave oven that was thrown out. What's the problem
with modifying that?
In comparison with direct heating of the transformer core by putting
current through its windings, I don't think that a microwave oven shell can
compete. I don't need to spell out the complications of trying, for that to
be clear. For some things an indirect source of heat inside a microwave
with the fan to help get vapour out is a good idea, but it's more awkward
and far less effective in this case.
It's not so much the experimenting that matters, just the quality of
observation. I admit to not thinking of direct self-heating first, but
credit where it's due, his idea to do that IS the best one.
