They offer a range of E-cores, toroids, in a variety of materials.
I assumed you'd want a mess of ferrite E-cores in mat'l #77--you'll
have to stack 'em to get to 10kVA.
https://www.amidoncorp.com/items/65
#77 is starting to look like the material of choice. Or something
similar, like 75 or 78.
The largest E-core Amidon offers is rated for "about 200W", which
suggests I'd need roughly 50 of them for the 10kW level I'm interested
in.
On an indirectly linked page, I discovered the data:https://www.amidoncorp.com/specs/2-40.pdf
This says the largest core has a winding window of 2 * 0.593 x 0.375
inch (using an E-E arrangement). A stack of 50 would be 50 * 0.605 > 30" thick, which is certainly possible, but would stick out one side
of my chassis. On the plus side, I would certainly be able to push
all the voltage through one turn. A single piece of 3/8" tubing would
fit without too much trouble, though leakage inductance to the primary
wouldn't be great (though it doesn't need to be). Evidently, A_L
would be 5.3 * 50 = 265uH/T^2, which would be fairly "ideal". But it
seems like an awful lot of overkill, not to mention way too expensive
($312 for 50 E-cores? no thanks).
Where does cross sectional area fit into this, anyway? Isn't that
absorbed into A_L? So, as long as I am given A_L, I can calculate
inductance and saturation at will? And saturation only involves path
length, right? -- by amperes per meter, they mean *A/m*, not A.m/m^2
(like how resistivity is actually ohm.m^2/m)?
Ok, so, this is Usenet, right? If I've made an error, surely there
would have been fifty people in the first hour telling me what an
idiot I am -- since this has not happened, I can only assume my
calculations are correct??? Then why do I calculate that a moderately
sized toroid (like the FT-290-W) will suffice, whereas others have
suggested that I need something approximately as thick as my ankle?

No, you mean it's below the cherry picked cyclical peak.
This is one reason why I wouldn't trust a 'climate change' advocate to
tell me if it were raining outside. They always cherry pick some
cyclical peak to compare against. If it's temperature they pick the
end of the little ice age and then, oh my, oh my, it's gotten warmer.
The past decade was warmer than even Loehle's reconstruction of the
medieval warm period.
That's not true and you're playing the same game of cherry picking
your data. In this case you're altering Loehle's reconstruction with
alternate proxies because you don't like the results his proxies
produced.
PLease try on your own to splice smoothed global HadCRUT-3 onto Loehle's
"Corrected Global Temperature Reconstruction" at any year both existed.
When I want to know what 'his' graph is I look at 'his' graph.
Quick, without looking, which are the 'gold standard'? Mann PC1
bristlecones or Ababneh bristlecones or Indigirka tree rings?
http://www.jennifermarohasy.com/blog/archives/002711.html
I think it's good enough to splice smoothed global HadCRUT-3 onto
Loehle's "Corrected Global Temperature Reconstruction" at 1890, 1900,
1920, or the (IIRC) 1925 termination pouint of Loehle's "Corrected Global
Temperature Reconstruction".
His corrected graph covers the same time frame as the original and you
'adjusting' it is not 'his' graph.

RH is 63% here right now, and I'm seeing about 5 fA. That's 5
microvolts across a 1G resistor.
Plenty good enough for testing diodes and jfets.
John
Is your resistor really that clean?
Seems to be. The test resistors are big long blue things from Digikey,
IRC maybe. I have a set of resistors from 1K to 5G ohms, each mounted
on a Pomona dual banana plug.
I'm using two DVMs, one to measure the upper (Z1) voltage and one
across the lower (Z2). I can short either pair of terminals and zero
out the respective DVM. If I plug in 1G and 5G resistors and apply a
few volts, I get a voltage ratio of 5.002. A good diode makes a nice
log curve down to 20 fA, which is comforting.
Being a little paranoid, I've done a number of cross-checks and
everything looks good so far.
I do have some surface-mount 100G and 1T resistors; maybe I'll ratio
them just for fun.
My ebay Keithley electrometer just arrived and seems to work. The
lowest range (on the analog meter) is 1e-14 amps full scale. It
measures the 1G and 5G resistors within a couple per cent. Looks like

I'm not too concerned about that (which, you're right to observe,That leads to the question: why do you want to wind your own
transformer? It might be much easier to have a transformer wound which
meets your specs than failing a couple of times. At the power levels
you are talking about, a failure is likely to cause collateral damage.
That should also not be a problem, about five turns of copper strapIf you are serious about winding your own transformer I think you
might need to buy some cores first put some windings on them and
verify your calculations. Beware that the method of winding also
influences the behaviour of the transformer.

Hi Rich! Thanks! Right now I am just focusing on making a good S-100
backplane. My next S-100 related project will probably be a PCB for a
linear power supply. IMO the biggest obstacles preventing more S-100
home brew hobbyist development is the lack of readily available
backplanes and power supplies.
As you know, S-100 has some rather unusual power requirements and its
difficult to come up with replacements. You can make you own linear
power supplies but they are usually huge and difficult to work with
things. I'd like to simplify it a bit.
Making S-100 cards has been done already so I'd like to work more on
the infrastructure before making new boards. The first board I'd make
though would be a new source of S-100 prototype boards. You can still
get them but they are hard to find and cost and too much IMO.
Thanks and have a nice day!
