@ALL,
We know that inductors connected in series have their inductance added together, like resistors.
So a 100uH + a 47uH inductor in series gives us an inductance of 147uH.
But what of the rated maximum current value?
Consider the following Murata axial power inductor:
MURATA Axial InductorThe 18104C has an induction value of 100uH, a max DC Amp of 1.2A and a DC Resistance of 100m?. The 18473C has an induction value of 47uH, a max DC Amp of 1.65A and a DC Resistance of 55m?.
If instead of using the 100uH, and putting two 47uH in series, will I now get a higher AMP rated inductor, with a slightly larger resistance of 110m?? Able to handle 1.65A? (Yes, the inductance would be 94uH as opposed to 100uH).
And what if I chained the 100uH + 47uH, would I get 147uH with the lower amp rating of 1.2A?
Thanks,
