   That's a T200-2A core.... note the A on the end.  This unit has twice
the cross-sectional area of a T200-2 core; Therefore, the balance of your
analysis is in error.

   I observed the mate to this part in use a KW amp. (a pair of 4CX250F's
at 2KV)... 20 years ago.

   This is an Iron Powder core, not a Ferrite.
