Therefore, the primary and secondary coils are operated in the current mode of operation, verses a power transformer is operated in the voltage mode of operation. Now, since I was looking at filtering a low voltage rail of 5 amperes, winding three CT's in series with three filter caps did the trick.
Normally, one should not wire up an EL power transformer is such a way since running dc current into the primary coil would make it run hot.
As far as my 813 project, it will have to wait until I finish my 36watt SE build, and my 18 watt mixed PA mode Class A / Class AB P/P build.

I will be eagerly awaiting your debut.

You will no doubt come back with some other kind of responce that I have nothing to contribute to the amp building community or probably attack the circuit itself in some way as not usable or something else.

No Gary, sorry I didn't. You have brought that one up enough on your own without me having to mention it. You have a whole other thread dedicated to just that and I commented all I'm going to comment about it in that thread. As far as your contributions you blow a lot of smoke, but have yet to show us proof of anything except some polished turds.
