use whatever is available to you as long as it is thick enough for the job...
as you deviate from the square core cross-section and the more rectangular it becomes, then the mean length per turn becomes longer and with it the resistance of the winding goes up, but this is mitigated somewhat by the fewer turns required with bigger cross-section magnet wire....
use of insulation varnish after the built up traffo is good, the varnish not only insulates the windings but also goes in between the laminates and this reduces eddy currents as well....what i do is to dip the built up traffo into a bath of varnish lifting it up when bubbles dissapear, this is done at least three times.....

Ok, that great 🙂
you just point it out right what I need
now my hesitation has gone...
This time good transformer is the final result
I will built it slowly so the varnish cure & the trafo can be used instantly
Thank you Tony

tony, the winder you are using on the phils website seems
to be different to the one photographed here. The one here
is better, it seems sturdier ?
Can you remember specifically where you got it ?
How come you don't attach a small motor using gears or something
so it would free up your other hand ?
Thanks

you can pretest yout finsihed traffo right after completing it to see that all voltages are ok.....and then you can dip the whole thing in varnish....
it is better to wait 3 days if using air drying varnish....

yes, i have 2, one is with a digital/mechanical read-out, but i dumped it because it had a tendency to stop counting in the middle of a winding run.....really annoying...😀
winders like those are easily available in RAON in Manila for about U$20 you can have one...
i like the dial wheels better, and quite accurate too...the two winders are same size really...
i have plans to motorize it, but too lazy at the moment...😀
Hi, It is more than a year...
I don't finnish anything yet, sorry
I hope next year that can be done...
Happy New Year to all people here 🙂
hope Goodwill to you
Best Regards
John

Hello sir.
As i read or saw the formula of core area=square root of output transformer/5.58 and second formula of core area of transformer=1.152*square root of output power of transformer
Cm.
What is right formula

What is right formula
depends on what you are trying to build, the quality of the core and the working voltages..
