How to use multiple windings
Discrete inductors combine like resistors, when connected in series or parallel. For example, inductors in series add and inductors in parallel reduce in a way similar to Ohm’s Law. L = L1 + L2 + L3...Ln Series L = 1/ [1/L1 + 1/ L2 + 1/ L3..1/Ln] Parallel Windings on the same magnetic core behave differently. Two windings in series result in four times the inductance of a single winding. This is because the inductance varies proportionately to the square of the turns. Paralleled
VERSA-PAC
windings result in no change to the net inductance because the total number of turns remains unchanged; only the effective wire size becomes larger. Two parallel windings result in approximately twice the current carrying capability of a single winding. The net inductance of a given
PCM
configuration is based on the number of windings in series squared multiplied by the inductance of a single winding (LBASE). The current rating of a
PCM
configuration is derived by multiplying the maximum current rating of one winding (IBASE) by the number of windings in parallel. Examples of simple two-winding devices are shown below:
