Series Inductor Calculator Formula
Understand the math behind the series inductor calculator. Each variable explained with a worked example.
Formulas Used
Total Inductance
total_l = l1_mh + l2_mh + l3_mhVariables
| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
l1_mh | Inductor L1(mH) | 10 |
l2_mh | Inductor L2(mH) | 22 |
l3_mh | Inductor L3 (0 to skip)(mH) | 0 |
How It Works
Series Inductors
L_total = L1 + L2 + L3 + ...
Inductances add directly in series, just like resistors in series. Assumes no mutual coupling.
Worked Example
10 mH and 22 mH in series.
l1_mh = 10l2_mh = 22l3_mh = 0
- 01L_total = 10 + 22 = 32 mH
