Aren't those tapped toroids? I would think those things would heat if tapped with the unused turns shorted, the wrong mix, insufficient core material, or a mounting that would prevent adequate coolin

Jim, What frequency? 16 bifilar turns on a FT-240 size core would be about 8' total of #12 wire. At 20m #12 Cu wire is about 4 ohms per 100' so 8' would be about 0.32 ohms. Put 5.5A of current throug
