That's one heck of a transformer ... mine is more like 4 cm/side.

Not unless your transformer has 10 sides !

Well, I just measured mine.  Don't have the equipment handy to measure true
power, but the current is only about 50ma; so that's only 6 watts apparent
power.  And the primary resistance is about 35 ohms, so resistive loss is
less than 0.1 watt.
