Secondary Wire Size
From cell ( B66) of the Table 6 spreadsheet, a secondary bare
wire area of 540 circular mils is required to make the secondary
CMA equal the primary CMA.  From cell (D67), the closest
AWG wire size that can satisfy this requirement with a single
wire is calculated as 22 AWG.  This wire size is too large for use
at 100KHz, and several smaller parallel wires should be used
instead to allow full utilization of the wire cross-sectional area.
From the wire table in Appendix A, it can be seen that two
parallel strands of 26 AWG triple insulated wire (CM of 252.8
circular mils per wire) have a total bare wire area of 505.6
circular mils, which is within 10% of the required CM of 540
circular mils.  The current capacity of the parallel winding can
be calculated from the formula:

CMA
 is the current capacity of the secondary winding in
circular mils per ampere, N is the number of strands in the
secondary winding, CM is the bare area of a single secondary
conductor in circular mils (from the wire table in Appendix A),
and I
SRMS
 is the secondary RMS current from cell (D62) of the
