Reg:

Yes, I have, started winding 'em with too BIG of wire to, had to drop a
couple sizes... which is why I said:
"...should always be the largest you can get away with...", as to "wire
size."
A 2" core is pretty big though, that is what he has got-if I know those
numbers correctly, and unless he is going to the basement (160M) or a KW
(probably could get by with a KW on a 200A too, but I'd go 2.5" core) he has
some room...
It is a 200A, they have a bit more inductance per turn too (bit fewer turns
for same mh/uh), than just a 200, if I remember datasheets correctly...

Warmest regards,
John
