 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

This is Roger's photo of a 4mH inductor from a 3kw aerosharp. If I'm after a 2mH inductor, with double the current rating, would it be ok to connect the 4 wires in parallel? And if so, I imagine I would connect white and red together and blue and black together. Is that right?  |

I don't know what's in that choke or how it's wound. But in general yes, given two inductors of the same value, paralleling the inductors will halve the inductance and give you a higher current capability. NANO Inverter: Full download - Only Hex Ver 8.1Ks |

Looks the same as the 3rd one. The wire on that Big choke is 3 mm diameter. Picture to see how its wound.  Cheers Aaron Off The Grid |

Ok I think I have to connect red and blue together and white and black together as the two coils are wound in different directions around the core. |

Nope I think I was right the first time. So confusing  |
