This screen helps the operator perform the Transformer calculations of Turns Ratio, Voltage, the Current and Impedance conversions for the Turns Ratio calculations. The Core Area calculation determines the Core Area and it’s power handling. Finally the Primary Turns needed to input the magnetic field for a necessary number of turns to achieve.

One feature is to enter any two for one parameter and one each for the others to calculate the rest all at once. Then press “Calculate” to get the Turns, Voltage Current or Impedance in Ohms. Press “Clear” to clear the coefficients and begin over. Press the “Close” button to quit the screen and go back to main menu.

This function can figure the Inductance of a Toroidal Coil
either if two ways. One can use the inductance Factor from manufacturers data
sheets, or you can find the Inductance Index from the Area, Outer Radius and the
Permeability of the toroid. Enter the Area in
Next enter the number of turns and press “Calculate” to figure the Inductance Index and the final Inductance. As an additional feature, if just the Inductance Index is used, the user can input any of Inductance Index, Number of Turns or the Inductance. Leave any one blank and “Calculate” will figure the missing component. Press “Clear” to erase all boxes and set to default the permeability. Press “Close” to close the form and return to the main menu.

This section will perform the calculation of a Cylindrical Coils Magnetic Field and more. I selected the appropriate button radio selection “Cylindrical Coil”. I also checked the check box that will used the predefined magnetic permeability in the pull down combo box. I have most used values in table. Un-checking the box will allow the user to input any value permeability. The user can also add to the lookup table by editing the INI file. Please read notes regarding editing this file. Next the user enters the Radius, Coil Length, Number of Turns, Current flowing thru and the over all Magnetic Field Path Length (i.e. closed circuit like transformer/motor.
