Hi,
I'm at the edge of my knowledge, what material would I need to fabric a DIY shielding for a toroid transformer? Would I really need the expensive and hard to source MU Metal, or will steel or aluminium do too? Or do I maybe need lead?
Instead of buying sheets of metal, the easiest solution would be to wrap tape around the transformer.
Amazon offers a variety of self adhesive tapes with a coating of:
-proper Mu-metal (0,8mm) but insanely expensive at 100€ for 2ft
-aluminium (0.075mm) 30-50m rolls.
-copper (0,05 mm) 30-50m rolls
-steel (1mm!) 1-6m rolls.
I'm leaning towards the steel tape, maker is "Gauder" should you like to google it.
Will this work at all?
Kind regards,
Tobi.
