OK so when on the photo below I measured the diameter of the transformer 😀 taking as a reference size of the TO-247 transistors I got about ⌀115mm I realized it must be at least 250VA. But usually 20% more should be fine.
But Papa says 3 times more for Class A that would be 300VA!? At least!
ok thanks for that, but apart from lowering the transformer temperature is anoher reason for that? Of course assumming that the transformer is capable of providing the specified power.
"Toroidal transformers have to be rated at a minimum of several times the intended wattage because the power is delivered in short pulses to the capacitors" - this is something I cannot simulate in LTSpice, ok, 300VA then 🙂 Merci ZM
