Re: AA-230 Zoom - measuring chokes


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Alex,

Maybe I am using the wrong words. I wound a few coils on ferrite cores based on literature. What I would like to do is see if they measure similarly to the literature before I install them. These are common mode chokes. The literature refers the value as choking impedance Rs in ohms at Frequency.

Is there a way to do this with the AA-230 Zoom?

I have attached a sample picture of what I tried to do.

?

73,

Dear Tony,

Let me ask you a few questions:

For what purpose do you need to measure the impedance of a choke?

For example, when calculating and manufacturing various filters, we need to know the inductance of the choke (and its Q-factor). But not impedance. The filter (as a ready-made unit) has its own impedance.

It is possible to measure the inductance of the choke with an analyzer (observing some conditions).



Best Regards, Alex

Trying to measure the choking impedance of some chokes I wound. Using #8 to
display all parameters. Frequency set to 1800 KHZ.
I am getting strange readings.? As an example, chokes wound with a pair of
#75 ferrite cores with 21 turns that should read 13K read Z - 2.3k and R -
292 ohms.
Am I doing something wrong (the usual case) or maybe the AA-230 isn't
designed to do this?
Thanks for any feedback
N2TK, Tony
