Hi All
Does anybody know of a "rule of Thumb" for estimating the VA rating of transformers (non toroid) based on weight, I seem to recall having read of some issue like this somewhere.
I Have some old trafo's I bought some 20 years ago in a surplus shop, they were advertised as being 50 V ct 50A but having seen some photos of some others on the net , I suspect they may not be so.
Wire on secondaries is substantial guage also.
I will need to weight them but of the top of my head they are rather heavy though not massively huge
Thanks in advance
