Characteristics of HP-IL Transformers?

inductance between 1-2 = L, but
inductance between 1-3 = 4 x L.

btw, according to my scientific findings (i.e., guesstimate the number of turns on the highest inductance...), toroid cores with AL >= 6000 nH will do the trick. will be trying to dig up a useful core later.

Hans,

thank you for the explanation - I have to confess that I am an engineer, but not in the field of electronics.
Especially the world of analog electronics is difficult to understand and probably full of magic :-)
