Re: [TCML] Primary selfC



Bart,

6.4nF sounds a lot :S

it would be a good idea for a rolled cap calculator, not sure I ever seen one but I think there are online calcs for those ?

I must confess I have not built the primary yet... (waiting on the new strap to arrive for one thing) though I wan't to know its going to work before I build it..

Cheers,
Chris

Got to thinking,

Didn't rolled caps have 2 metallic sheets rolled up? If so, then 1/2 the value, so 3.2nF and 940kHz. Chris, you can verify by measuring Fres and back calculating C from L.
