 After epoxy potting, the capacitance increased
 to 3 pF.  Next, prolonged HV insulation tests.
 Within the epoxy potting, there's about 2 mm**
 clearance to the core and 5 mm coil-to-coil.
 External wiring creepage distance is 17 mm.
 Typical material specs range from 12 to 20kV/mm,
 or 24kV min for 2mm.  Maybe I'll test at 15kV.
 (The maximum it'll ever encounter in my +/-5kV
 bipolar switch is 5kV dc for a few hours.)
