What do you use for transformers? (i.e. core material and size) at
what power level?
(I just got a copy of Soft Ferrites by E.C. Snelling (supposedly the
ultimate reference on the subject) from the library at work. It's
pretty heavy going, and it's nice to have some actual examples to
work through... might as well be useful ones...)
