Winding can be performed using a winding machine or produced manually, with care. The number of turns per layer of the secondary winding can be counted or can be estimated from the inside length of the coil former and the wire AWG.<br> Winding can be performed using a winding machine or produced manually, with care.

Once a winding layer is completed, it shall be fully covered by layers of insulation paper. The total thickness of the insulating layer must be at least 0.2 mm. The first role of this insulation is to reduce the parasitic capacitances between adjacent wire layers. The second role is to increase the breakdown voltage between adjacent wire layers.<br>

Insert the two halves of the ferrite core into the coil former shown in assembly of the step-up transformer. The cross sections of the core in the areas denoted by green ellipses should have gaps of 0.25mm to 0.3mm. Cut three pieces of the standard printing paper (80 GSM) paper per gap, and stack pieces to form the gap. It is not necessary to place the paper in the central column of the core.<br> Insert the two halves of the ferrite core into the coil former shown in assembly of the step-up transformer.
