RE: Formula for true self capacity of a coil.
Hi John, All,
Let's not loose sight of the "actual" measurements!
1. 394.5 kHz
2. 269 kHz
3. 212.7 kHz
I ran these through E-Tesla5 and got:
1. 412.5
2. 286.1
3. 201.8
and Cmed got:
1. 401.43
2. 298
3. 230.41
and Jones/Cox got:
1. 397.07
2. 296.678
3. 208.78
and John C. got:
1. 403.6
2. 299.58
3. 231.38
"We" all came out high on the second one compared to the actual... Dare I
suggest that the second actual could be a little wrong! =:O
It would be a scarry day when we trust the calculations over the actual
measurements but... In my own testing I kept getting high numbers in one
test. I went back and check the "actual" dimensions and... oops! The darn
computer WAS right! ;-))
It "slightly" seems that Jones/Cox is getting the best answers... Of
course, slap dual toroids on these coils, and I'll vote for E-Tesla5 ;-)))
Hey! Does anyone remember the "good ol' days" when we had no clue what a
given secondary system frequency would turn out as ;-))
Cheers,
Terry
BTW - Great work Gavin in finding that true C formula!!
