How much power are you running? PTFE tubes are probably unnecessary and can do more harm than good when building 49:1 transformers (presumably for use with an end-fed halfwave antenna?) For 49:1 transformers, they will increase leakage inductances and degrade performance on the higher bands, especially on 10 meters. They are great when you have smaller turns ratio baluns or UNUNs but can be counterproductive with large turns ratio ununs. I have bought a lot of stuff from Balun Designs. Their 1:1 through 9:1 baluns are great construction and performance with the PTFE tubing. At one time they sold a 49:1 UNUN and stopped selling it, except by special request. I have two of them, with the PTFE tubing, and VSWR performance at the high end is not very good. My homebrew UNUNs, which do not use teflon tubes, have better performance at the high end. -Steve K1RF -----Original Message----- From: Ilan Grosman Sent: Monday, December 02, 2019 3:11 PM To: ctsara at mailman.qth.net Subject: [CTSARA] PTFE tubing for copper wire used for 49:1 balun Hi All!

Message-ID: Ilan, I have not seen any problems from anyone, not even once in Steve Ellingtons?s facebook group, when using 500W-1kW using the three core FT240-52s and no teflon tape on the cores or PTFE tubing on the wires. The secondary turns are pretty separated, and the ?crossover? in the middle of the secondary keeps the high voltage output away from the grounded primary side. The bigger problem might be core heating on 80 meters for high duty cycle mode like CW at high power. SSB - no problem.

Message-ID: <012301d5aac2$00c75b20$02561160$@com> Ilan, Good morning again. Regarding your balun questions, at 100 watts you should not have any problems with magnet wire arc-over. Just follow the build plans you have referenced. Going a bit further, I use special Teflon (PTFE) insulated, silver plated wire to wind various types of high power transformers and baluns for industrial applications. I do stock this type of wire however, it is pricey. The vendor is Weico www.weicowire.com GL with the project. Steve W1SMS Steven M.
