RE: [TCML] JAVATC primary inductance calculator

Chris,

For a lower inductance primary, have you considered locating it INSIDE your
secondary?  This is how Electrum was built, and it obviously worked fine!

Hi Bart,


My meter I doubt will go below 1uH. Its a problem to read 10uH, maybe 1uH, 
but its not going to measure any lower (no more digits!)

Parallel turns may work, would help with resistance also I suppose. Though 
as each progressive layer will be a fraction longer, its hard to say how 
this will effect the current profile though each inductor. at 10KA and 2 
layers, I don't know if the current will favour the inner turn as its less 
resistance than the outer turn....

I am currently working down to 0.0000146ohms. Is it possible to get anymore 
accuracy in your flat ribbon calculator ? maybe down to several decimal 
places ?
