Dunno about the ones used with motors,  this thing is big,  lives in a
metal can,  and has two connections going to the transformer.  Also a
ground lug that's tied to the metal chassis.  I remember reading somewhere
a while back that they are specifically matched to the transformer,  so
there's nothing to calculate.
