Hi Frank,

First measure the core cross-section where the wire will be wrapped.

Volts per turn = (0.16 x CS)

Then divide the desired primary voltage by "volts per turn" to get how many
turns you will need.

#22 can carry roughly 0.85 amps.
So total VA would be 0.85 times the primary voltage.

You can calculate the maximum VA the core is capable of if the wire size can
handle it...

VA=(CS/0.16)^2

You can use 750 circular mils per amp. For a cooloer running tranny use 1000
circular mils per amp.

For example:
#22 is 640 circular mils.

640/750 = 0.85 amps
or
640/1000 = 0.64 amps

A good wire chart can be found here:
