I think my TC secondary has too many turns on it. I made the secondary out of a
26" long, 5.5" (outer diameter) PVC. The winding is 22" long. Trouble is the
magnet wire I had was 0.16mm diameter, which translates to 50-60 turns per cm,
or 125-150 turns per inch. Thus there are around 3000 turns of wire on the
secondary. I gather this may be too many turns. Can this secondary be saved
!!!!
As you can imagine I'd rather not wind another, and this one is so pretty.
Any suggestions anyone?
