Hi Randy,
Here are a few links for you. It's not that trivial, but there are a few
rules of thumb that you can use. I have been involved with design switching
supplies for high power car stereos since 1982, so email me directly if you
can't find what your'e looking for.

> Hi:
> I know this is off the pcb topic but I was wondering if anyone on this
list knew how to design transformers or where to look to find this
information out. I am trying to build a 500 watt 100khz switching power
supply that will bring 12volts to 60 volts. I understand the concept of
turns ratio but my question is how do I treat the primary of the
transformer? Do I treat it as merely an inductor whose value I would need to
calculate? I was also wondering about the magnetic selection of a core. How
much permeability can I have before I saturate the core using a given power
level?
