ampacity question



Original poster: "bob golding by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-uswest-dot-net>" <yubba-at-clara-dot-net>

Hi all,
    I have a question about current carrying capacity of magnet wire for
a transformer secondary. I get different ratings from different web
sites. Father toms table says the following.
28 awg=0.319A
30 awg=0.200A
32 awg=0.124A
34awg=0.0795A

Allen's home brew pig web site says

28awg=761mA
30awg=477ma
32awg=304ma
34awg=187ma

anybody got any definitive numbers for a transformer secondary running
under oil.?

cheers
