Hi everyone,
I'm working with a step-down transformer and have encountered a few surprising characteristics in its construction that I would like to understand better. I would really appreciate any insights into why it might be designed this way.

Hello,
This is my first time designing a transformer based power supply. I have wound a couple of experimental toroids so far with varying results and am still not sure exactly on how to calculate the number of primary turns.
Using a T94-2 core as an example (because I have one sitting...
When I measured the input resistance of some 230V AC to 12V DC transformer based power adapters, I got around 400 ohms. Isn't this quite high for the resistance of the primary winding? I expected no more than 100 ohms. The adapters are low power though (output power< 10W).
