There are a few good books on the topic, one is entitled “Controlling Conducted Emissions by Design” , John C Fluke, 1991 (334 pages)

Flux in the core adds rather than cancelling so there is inductance = 2 x that of a single winding. You already get about 0.5% to 2% of the primary inductance available as DM “leakage inductance” But. The core is ungapped so will saturate with relatively small currents meaning it’s inductance value will change. Google “inductor saturation” All the best James James Pawson Managing Director & EMC Problem Solver Unit 3 Compliance Ltd EMC : Environmental & Vibration : Electrical Safety : CE & UKCA : Consultancy <http://www.unit3compliance.co.uk/> www.unit3compliance.co.uk | <mailto:ja...@unit3compliance.co.uk> ja...@unit3compliance.co.uk +44(0)1274 911747 | +44(0)7811 139957 2 Wellington Business Park, New Lane, Bradford, BD4 8AL Registered in England and Wales # 10574298 For inquiries, bookings, and testing updates please send us an email on he...@unit3compliance.co.uk <mailto:he...@unit3compliance.co.uk> or call 01274 911747.
