Another Inductance winding Number question

AI Thread Summary
When winding two separate inductors with different turn counts in parallel, such as 30 turns and 60 turns, the effective inductance can lead to shorting effects due to the differing turn counts. The value of N in this case is not simply the average of the two, as the turns that cancel out will not contribute to the inductance. Instead, the larger winding dominates, and the difference in turns will produce a significant current in the "shorted" section. Bifilar winding techniques are discussed for their ability to enhance coupling between coils, but caution is advised due to potential insulation issues. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the complexities of inductance calculations and the implications of winding configurations.

Thanks !

nH/T2 = 13690 ± 30% that'll be the proper way of expressing my Φ term...

nice core, μrelative is 10,000

Sorry about the OP thread diversion.

Sorry for what ? You broke ground.
I learned a lot, lots more to go.
