G'Day Guy's,
Had a good look around my shed and found I finally run out of that enameled 6x3 wire
Anyway I do have that spool I annealed on my crab burner and sure enough all the insulation is gone, now I did find enough heat shrink to use so I'm going to wind the same type of inductor as I used in my first MPPT. When I was at Rodger's we did measure it and it was off memory 69uh and as I did use 10 turns i'll do the same on this one.Cheers Bryan
Edit: Well just had to have a go and it was a bit of fun but the second inductor is made
Now to settle down the wire I used some 10 mm plexi glass and it did really help that this thick wire was fully annealed as I only had 3mm spare on the height to get the 2 layer thickness in so the E-cores would would fit. I did sort of work out 2.5 metres of wire and I only had 2.7 metres of heat shrink and when i got the 10 turns done I didn't need to trim the wire at all.
Now the photo doesn't show it but I did hard solder those fitting on
