What Formula Calculates Inductance for Jumble Wound Air Coils?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on determining the appropriate inductance formula for jumble wound or random wound air core coils, with varying opinions on whether to use single layer or multilayer formulas. Participants suggest that the multilayer formula is likely the most suitable due to the complexities involved in measuring the thickness of the jumble wound layer and calculating the correction factor for conductor spacing. Estimating an average thickness may be necessary for accurate calculations. There is a call for resources or websites that provide further information on this topic. Overall, the multilayer formula is favored for its applicability to the design challenges presented by jumble wound coils.

I have noticed there are different Inductance formula's for a various types of air coils & there design, single layer spiral, flat wound spiral, multilayer etc.

My question is for the design of Jumble wound --- Random wound air core coils:

What is the Inductance formula for a Jumble wound---Random wound air coil & the necessary dimension points needed to be taken for the caculation.
Some say you use the single layer spiral air coil formula, others say use the multilayer formula & some say neither apply?

Is there a site that i can go to to look this up or can anybody help me out?

Thank You

I think the multi-layer formula is the one to use. The thickness of the jumble wound layer won't be easy to measure, so you may just have to estimate an average. Also, the correction factor for the spacing of the individual conductors won't be easy to calculate either, but I think the multi-layer formula would be best.
 

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
