Re: Aussie question: Toroid as a shorted turn

Hi Peter,

The top toroid is too far away from the primary and the currents near the 
top of the secondary are too small for there to be any "significant" power 
being lost to the "shorted turn" of the toroid.  Be interesting to see if 
your experiment finds any notable difference.  My bet is no ;-))

Cheers,

         Terry
