Hi,

I have been trying to wind a high frequency transformer running at
approximately 100kHz, in a push pull configuration with a square
wave of about 25% duty cycle in a step up configuration.

I have a battery voltage of 12Vdc to the transformer.

The wire gauge table here
http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm

states that 30AWG can handle:
Maximum amps for chassis wiring=3D0.86A
Maximum amps for power transmission=3D0.142

what is the reference to chassis wiring and power transmission
regarding a transformer ? How can I estimate the wire gauge for
my transformer ?

I have been looking at using multiple wires in parallel as in a litz
wire for the transformer.

Looking here:

http://www.litz-wire.com/New%20PDFs/Litz_Designing_Calculations.pdf

it states that 50 KHZ-100 KHZ 38 AWG is required for the maximum
penetration.

I am now a bit confused as to which document is correct. Can anyone
clarify ?

Thanks,
Manu
