TOROIDAL
FERRITE CORE INDUCTOR DESIGN
Ferrite
Toroidal Core Inductor Calculation.
HOME >
OPERATIONAL
>REFERENCES >
Calculation
to determine the number of turns required for a range of ferrite core toroids to achieve a particular inductance value.
L =
Inductance in mH
 =
Inductive index in mH per 100 turns as specified by the
manufacturer.
N =
Number of turns.
Example
The number of turns required for a 1.2mH
inductor if the
for
the selected ferrite core is 150.
