I'm looking into using a wirewound resistor, though experimenting with lower currents in the hopes I can find something that loads the transformer juuuust enough to make it happy while keeping the resistor dissipation down to something slightly cooler than, say, the average blue-white star. Still hoping there's an elegant physics workaround that can make a load without...er...a load. I guess. :) | |
