Can I replace this custom made 2-phase filter inductor with plain thoroids ?
erikbrenn:
Hi,
I'm repairing a ventilation system that has a damaged custom made 2-phase mains filter. I contacted the manufacturer and they told me it is a custom job for the ventilation manufacturer, they did not stock it. And the ventilation manufacturer charges an arm and a leg for it.
Each inductor in the original filter is 128uH.
Would it be ok to replace such a filter with two thoroid chokes each of 128uH inductance? What is the reason they use such a combined filter with the two phases around a iron core instead of just using two chokes? How does combing two such inductors in one unit change the magnetics/inductance?
Original filter
Considering replacing it with two of these inside a 3d-printed housing.

128uH seems very low. I would expect that should be millihenries.
Perhaps you could use a 1:1 isolation transformer (with correct phasing)?

Since it is EI iron core, Drill rivets, Remove core, Cut Mylar tape, Unwind, Counting turns and direction, Rewind with same size enameled wire and Mylar tape.

easy to remove clamp, varnish, check gap and wdgs for short/open.
Get same wire, rewind, reassembele
