Hello all, I have a very innovative engineer who has come up with a design idea that uses concrete as an insulating compound in a very large inductor for a 200 kW switching power supply. Yup, this is the stuff you buy down at the local building supply company. He was very proud of the idea, but until he came up with it I think he was pretty desperate. I'm thinking I should make him desperate again but would like to be able to give him a clearly reasoned-out explanation. Has anyone ever had experience with using concrete or mortar in a high voltage application? What are the concerns here? It is my understanding that it does not actually "dry" but it cures with all the water contained inside. thanks,
