Total primary inductance was actually
measured at current flowing thru both primaries connected in series. The
current was then doubled in order to correct for the mmf when using one
primary winding only.
5V/50Hz was superimposed upon a swept DC
voltage and the resulting ac and dc current was then added. The ac
contribution only affected the two first measured points and was then
always less than 10% of total "DC" current.
Due to the fact that the magnetic field
intensity is approximately 14A/m per mA unbalance, it is obvious that
this type of un-gaped core is most suitable for pure Class A push-pull
operation. However, the above results also implies that some Class AB or
even single-end Class A operation is possible.
In view of the L(U) dependency, I
reserve myself for some discrepancies regarding small "low resolution"
current measurements.
