Re: Heating in 4-1/2 turn inductor
From: rborowiak@gmail.com (raypsi)
Hey OT:
I stand by my proximity effect.
The Q is equal to Rl/Xc the half turn has twice as much Xc so the Q
for that turn is half as much as the other turns because of proximity
Thus the Pd in the half turn is 4 times the Pd in the other turns.

Several years ago while making inductors for tuning a class E amplifier we
end up with a 4-1/2 turn inductor. The inductor used a 3F3 potcore, gapped I
think,
but it has been awhile. The inductor was driven hard but below saturation..
The problem; the 1/2 turn got HOT. Four turns or five turns were ok.
My physicist friend had an EE verify the problem 2000 miles away.
So, can anyone tell me why 1/2 turn would make such a difference in the
heating?
Thanks, MikeK
