Hi Jonathon,

At least a few hundred and up to a few thousand amps.  It is really
important to keep the primary resistances as low as possible at these
currents since the I^2R loss is very high.

If we just guess and say we have 500 amps for 10uS at 1 ohm at 120 BPS, we
dissipate 300 watts as heat!

Cheers,

	Terry
