Transformer saturation trouble!
I have a VIC built and its working, it has 2.5km of 30 gauge wire on it, consisting of a primary of 32 ohms, secondary 180 ohms, L1 Bifilar 180 Ohms and L2 bifilar 180 ohms. Current problem is sorted but now I have core saturation even with air gaps above 9.5khz. It shuts down and refuses to oscillate above this frequency and current goes through the roof.
What core material should I use? Core is 10mm x 15mm to fit inside my coils btw.
