How it calculates
Model: R/L: series sum, parallel reciprocal sum. C: parallel sum, series reciprocal sum.
Assumptions
- Inductors are uncoupled; component ESR, leakage, tolerance and voltage/current ratings are not combined.
Worked example
These are the calculator's default inputs. Change any input above to recalculate.
