Re: [TCML] Copper vs. Aluminum/Steel wire for the secondary coil?

[bartb <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brian,

Javatc runs both Al and Cu wire types (a simple selection in the 
program) if you want to simply take a look at the differences. The 
obvious outputs to look at are DRC, ACR, and Q. However, regarding how 
the wire would perform against Cu, well, gotta build it to find out.

Take care,
Bart
