Hey David,
I was trying to find my catalog from Amidon Associates (where I get my toroids) before I opened my mouth and inserted foot and replied to your quandry. In the brochure, they have a listing that tells how many turns for each gauge wire on any given toroid size can be wound in a single layer. Usually, I pick the largest wire that should fit based on the number of turns I need. Right or wrong, that's how I do it. I couldn't find it and I didn't see it on their website either. Anyhow, I assume you are winding with enameled wire? Regarless, good luck with the project and let us all know how it works out! Scott N0EDV David Duxbury wrote: Hi Scott I have tried and no way can i get 40 turns in without overlapping, also is it correct to wind on only 80 percent of the core Scott wrote: Remember, each time the wire passes through the core is counted as a turn. In other words, just passing the wire straight through the core is one turn. 24 gauge wire should be fairly easy to get 40 turns in a single pass. Toroids are usually wound about 330 degrees around (a 30 degree gap between start and end of winding)...

Help would be appreciated. -- Scott http://corbenflyer.tripod.com/ Building RV-4 Gotta Fly or Gonna Die |

Hi again Guys I phoned the Vectronics people all I got from them was yes you can wind forty turns onto the core, I say Bull.... I read in the same instructions to wind on only 80 percentof the core, now I am a real quandary? I am new to this but I hope not stupid, help please Dave.

Help would be appreciated. Nobody has asked you, so I put in the question here. Are you sure that you have the right toroid? Maybe you have mixed them up, Maybe the kit is delivered with wrong toroid? When Vectronic and the kit manual says that it could be done, maybe you are lookoing in the wrong direction? 73 de Ben/SM0KBW |
