PC board primaries



Original poster: "Jim Lux by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-qwest-dot-net>" <jimlux-at-earthlink-dot-net>

Has anyone ever tried making a flat primary by etching a piece of copper
clad board?  With suitable copper thickness, the AC resistance might not be
all that bad (skin effect, and all).  Say you etched  a 1/2" wide spiral
trace... 2 oz copper is 0.007112 cm  Skin depth at 300 kHz in copper is
around 0.01 cm..  Double sided board, with the spiral on both sides, might
have a decent cross sectional area.
