I have a C-core transformer salvaged from some audio equipment.
Primary and secondary windings are both placed evenly on each side of the core, which has cross section area of
6.4 sqr.cm (3.2 x 2 cm)
By using the rough estimate that can be used for E-I cores,
that should enable me to draw approx. 6.4*6.4 = 41 VA from the transformer.
But how about a C-core ?
I have heard you can pull more out of such a thing due to a shorter magnetic traveling distance (or something), but I havn't found any specifics or 'rule of thumb' on the web yet.
