	And if '_ANY_' is too small, it will melt, overheat
	catch fire, even for test.  If lucky, this will happen.
	If less lucky, the wire slightly larger, will appear
	satisfactory, get left in and get a transformer built around
	it and THEN be lossy, etc.

	Thickness of wire is determined by currents to be carried.
	a wire which might carry 'magnetizing' (test, no secondary)
	currents apparently satisfactorily will be entirely
	unsatisfactory for use when LOAD currents, reflected back
	are present.
