Re: [TCML] Primary # of turns on a 10KVA 14400 pole pig



Hey Jim...

I had an opportunity to see a "Katrina" damaged piggie and remember that the primary was 5 layers of wire with "about" 32 winds per layer. I didnt actually see how many winds were under the paper in the inner layers but each layer looked symetrical compared to the exposed unpapered layer.
Sooo...  160 winds   BTW  the wire was square and about 3/16 " wide....

Hi All,



Does anyone know the usual primary turns (240v side) on a 10KVA pig and the
wire gauge? I have a dry core with 36.875"^2 area and am looking at Finn
Manner's transformer project page.
http://www.hvtesla.com/radartransformer.html This is a heavy core! According
to Finn, turns equal K=1.6 for 60hz (K* E)/Area so(1.6*240)/36.875" to fully
magnetize the core.  This would be only 10.41 turns. Yikes. Is that right?



Thanks,

Jim Mora
