Steve & Craig,

? QUESTION: Are Not the Composition/Material of the Core and the
Core's Magnetic Properties "Intertwined" ?

- The Magnetics are a 'result' of the Cores Composition/Materials.

- Cores Composition/Materials are 'selected' for their Magnetics.

OK. That's just fine. But you still need to know the characteristics of the core to
wind the transformer.

Magnetics has nothing to do with it. It's the composition/material of
the core. Have you taken the time to read the material I posted before?
If you haven't, I suggest you do so.

The composition/material of the core establish its magnetic properties.

Been there, read it, have had their catalog for years! Who cares about the
magnetics? What we care about is indeed the composition/material of the core.

Read the specs, embrace them as gospel. All cores are not created equal!
