We have a toroidal transformer stepping 5 Vac 400 Hz to 25 Vac. The input
could be up to 5-7 amps and the output 1.5 amp or about a 40 watt load.
Running at full load it is getting somewhat hot.
There is allot of room left on the coil so to lower the losses also heat,
would it be possible to rewind it with a larger gauge wire , both pri and
sec windings and keep the ratio the same. If so the inductance will be lower
so do I need more turns on the pri and sec or Not.
Any ideas. I think the core is way out of saturation yet. There is about 28
turns on the pri, and 140 on the sec.
