Transformer Rewind?
Hi
I have recently laid my hands on a resonably large transformer that I
intend to rewind to my coil specs. It originally weighed in at about 20kg
with the copper windings. How do I calculate the VA rating from the core
size and ampere turns/windings for the primary. The core measures as follows:
==========
==========
*==* *==* height = 10 inches
*==* *==* width = 7 inches
*==* *==* sectional area = 4 sq inches (2" x 2")
*==* *==* bobbin height = 6 inches
==========
==========
There are two bobbins (* *)on the square shaped core. I am hoping to get
at least 3kVA out of this baby. Is this wishful thiking. What size/guage
wire do I use for x current.
Thank you
