Let s say I have a suitable sized core to wind a transformer on. If I wanted a
5kw transformer

with a 100:1 winding ratio and an output of 15000v. How many primary turns
would it need to

be able to handle that amount of power? Is there a type of formula for figuring
out how much copper needs to go into the primary? How do you know when you have
enough turns?
