Re: [TCML] Primary # of turns on a 10KVA 14400 pole pig

Hey Jim...

I had an opportunity to see a "Katrina" damaged piggie and remember that 
the primary was 5 layers of wire with "about" 32 winds per layer.
I didnt actually see how many winds were under the paper in the inner 
layers but each layer looked symetrical compared to the exposed 
unpapered layer.
Sooo...  160 winds   BTW  the wire was square and about 3/16 " wide....
