[Boatanchors] Re: How much does Henry weigh?

Hi Ken:

Yes, things like thinking while typing become more challenging with age...as 
my notes shows.

Kindly excuse me.

I need an idea of the amp rating...it is apparently ?5 amps...with my guess 
being that the "?" is a 2...thus I arrive at 0.25 amps.

Soooo might a 15 Hy @ 0.25 amp choke weigh as much as 18 pounds or should it 
be more like 1.8 pounds, say?

Being a former specialty wire sales engineering...I'd have a darn better idea 
if I could see the wire - but - this unit is completely enclosed.

I put this question out there as I've read about folks ballparking 
transformer number based upon weight when no other data was to be had.

Or to put it another way on this transformer question - what might be the 
range of inductance for power transformer windings with 115 primary and say 800 
vct secondary and some filament taps too?  And could they be used as chokes as 
I recall some folks saying.

Tnx,
Steve
