Well, we're driving one "secondary" winding and taking outputs from
the other three windings, and running up to a KHz or so, and closing a
wideband feedback loop around the transformer. Not on the data sheet.
Actually the data sheet kinds warns against this use. WDNNSDS [1]
PM alternators often drive switching shunt regulators, which can make
nasty waveforms. We want to simulate the alternator impedance and
tolerate whatever wild stuff regulators may do.
[1] we don't need no stinkin' data sheet

I'd sure rather buy toroids already wound. And I want to go down
to 50 Hz, so ferrite is out.
That one is around $70, in the noise on this project.
You didn't need to mention '100s of kHz then.

I would never have mentioned ferrite if I thought you were actually
using it at line frequencies.
You can't beat what they already have off the shelf then.
I thought you were making it do something other than what it was
designed for.
