Claim:
1. A transformer comprising: a magnetic core comprising a plurality of legs including a first winding leg; a first winding assembly comprising a first conductive conduit helically wound around said first winding leg a first number of turns, said first winding assembly having a first magnetic length and a first axial length; and a second winding assembly inductively coupled to said first winding assembly, said second winding assembly comprising a second conductive conduit wound around one of the plurality of legs a second number of turns, said second winding assembly having a second axial length, wherein at least one of said first winding assembly and said second winding assembly covers an axial length of a respective winding leg of said magnetic core and is wound around said respective winding leg such that an axial segment of said axial length is only partially covered by said at least one first winding assembly and second winding assembly, said second winding assembly having a second magnetic length equal to said first magnetic length, wherein said first axial length is different than said second axial length, and wherein said first number of turns is different than said second number of turns.
