[ARC5] Collins xfmr ratings

[John Saxon via ARC5]

Thanks Ken and everyone...

As I previously said, this discussion comes at a very good time for me.  Thanks so much for clearing these critical (pun intended) points.

OK...back to the bench,
73,

Although in point of fact, this statement is correct as it is written, what 
actually happens if the critical inductance is not reached is that the output 
voltage reaches the a.c. voltage's PEAK, not average. Now this doesn't 
happen instantly, meaning that if the choke is close to the critical inductance, 
but still below it, the output voltage will be higher, but not to the peak value 
yet. If the true peak value was reached, that would be 600*1.414=848.4V.
