Re: [TCML] Terry Filter Resistors

[bartb <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No thanks! Your word is good enough for me. Terry mentioned Nichrome 
wire, so that would now make sense with the very high resistivity. Seems 
there are a lot of flavors for Nichrome out there, but they appear to 
have vastly larger resistivity than copper (which is what I used). Well, 
at least I know why they don't use copper wire (and know how to create 
one out of copper wire <grin>).

And since it is a single layer Nichrome alloy, the inductance must be 
very small.

Regards,
Bart
