[Boatanchors] Powerstat

[J. Forster]

About what is the OD of the wound torroid? Roughly what is the wire guage?
The 60 Hz ones that are about 3" OD are wound with about #30 wire.

Also, you could hook the input to 115V 60 Hz with a 100 W lamp in series.
If the lamp lights brightly, it's not 60 Hz as the core is saturating.
