Hello All,

What is the smallest number of turns on a primary that will be effective.
  I am trying to work out a secondary size that will suit the power supplies
that I have.

How many turns are required for efficient operation?  What happens if I
only use 2 or 3 turns in order to used a large tank cap size?  Is it
possible to use too many turns?


Regards,

Justin
