hello there...

I am confused again with this power rating'

how to determine the VA rating if the core area is 3.81cm * 3.81cm = 14.5161 sq.cm.

Find the maximum flux the core can conduct. Then find the current which will cause that flux and multiply it by the secondary's voltage (approximation).

hello,

I got this formula:

VA= (sqrt Power/5.58)2

but the core area should be in sq. inches and I am using a metric system.

Where does 5.58 come from?
