I recall reading somewhere that putting DC current through wire turns on ferrite toroids could result in damage to the material. Am I recalling correctly? Is there a current threshold that should be respected? My concern is the +12Vdc on the feedline to a preamplifier, which will pass through a choke of 8 turns of RG-8X through four #31 2.4-inch toroids. The current is low. 73, Jeff K8ND _______________________________________________ Topband mailing list Topband@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/topband |
