#85070 - Re: ' Detailed Answer'
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Dear Kai,

Thanks a lot for poinitng me to your post. After reading the formulae you gave things are clear now. But How do I measure the inductance of my coils. One way is to make a R+Coil combination using some suitable resistor and apply 50Hz sinus signal and then measure the potentional drops across R and coil and then find Z of coil.

 
                     Vc                    Vr
            |------------------|        
           -|-///--(((((((--|------//////---|
          | |  Rc       wL     |          Rr          |
          | |-------------------                      |
          |       Zc   Coil                           |
          |                                           |
          |----------------(50Hz 24Volts)-------------|


Rr= Resistance of resistor.
Rc= DC Resistance of Coil.
Zc= Impedence of coil.
L = Inductance of coil.
Vr= Voltage drop across resistor.
Vc= Voltage drop across coil.

Zc/Rr=Vr/Vc

Thus, Zc=Vr*Rr/Vc -----(1)

next, wL=Zc-Rc

L=(Zc-Rc)/w = (Zc-Rc)/(2*PI*50) -------(2)

Combining 1 and 2

L=((Vr*Rr/Vc)-Rc)/(2*PI*50)

L=((Vr*Rr/Vc)-Rc)/314.16 ------ Final Formula

Vr, Rr, Vc and Rc can be measured using a DVM.


Kai, Is the above formula and method correct for finding L.

Is there any simple method for finding L of a coil.

Thanks & Regards,
Prahlad Purohit.
