with differential flux were WRONG, and based on some careless experiments I

did more than ten years ago before I started working with ferrites in any

serious way. Based on questions from others, I recently set up careful tests

with bifilar wound chokes on several types of cores and found losses due to

differential flux to be VERY small.


Jim,

I want to give big kudos to you for being willing to state uncategorically
and clearly in a public forum that you were wrong about that and fixed it.

There are so many hard-headed stubborn "gurus" in this hobby who would
probably, at best, post a grudging retraction quietly, and might respond in
private to a question about the "missing information" if asked publicly.
 But you use big capital letters to emphasize the point.

I know it's the right thing to do, but I appreciate seeing it here in print.
 FB OM.
