junk

[edit]

So I'll say it again, junk. Despite the ref'ed material, consider I have an autotransformer rated 300VA at the output (it says so right on the label). I am generally using DC current in the milliamp range from an SS rectifier, hence dissipating a few milliwatts across the load. My TUF is therefore, for example .03w/300VA = .0001, negligible, nearly zero, which in circuit terms, would be abyssmal. Yes? Exactly according to the definition. That's why the definition, so widely quoted, is just as widely wrong.

In any case, this definition (good or bad) can be cut and pasted directly into the rectifier article, and this brain-dead page deleted.
