AliExpress Ferrite toroid information and Shops

Informatie over enkele ALI ontstoor ringkernen, meestal groen. Vele Philips e.a. ook erbij ter vergelijk.
De L in de tabel hieronder is gemeten met de Mastech LCR meter met N = 10. AL is dan 10x de gemeten uH waarde.
AL is in nH/winding of mH/1000 windingen
Met DL5SWB software is daaruit de materiaal ui waarde berekend.

Na de ontdekking van de rekenkundige truc met N = 10 en een RCL meter om een direct aanwijsbare ferriet AL meter te verkrijgen, is dit gemeld aan de redactie van Elektor die er direct een artikel aan besteed heeft.
De lage meet frequentie bij zo'n RCL-meter - 1 kHz, 10 kHz en soms voor lage AL ook 100 kHz - is ideaal om te meten in het "rechte" aanvangs deel van de ui karakteristiek.
Het is absoluut FOUT om ferriet kernen te meten met een HF oscillator of aan een dipper te hangen om de AL waarde te bepalen, zoals anderen deden!!! (in CQ-PA)
In dit artikel kun je het Eureka-moment van PE1ABR in Elektor nalezen, voor meer achtergrond info over een direct aanwijzende AL meter. Ook beschikbaar in PDF in de internationale Elektor versies!!   UK,   FrankrijkDuitsland.

====================

Information about some ALI interference suppression toroids, usually green. Lots of Philips et al. for comparison.
Dutch decimal is used. The L in the table below is measured with the Mastech LCR meter with N = 10. AL = 10x measured uH value.
AL is in nH/turn or mH/1000 turns
The material ui value was calculated from this using DL5SWB software.

After discovering the arithmetic trick using N = 10 and an RCL meter to obtain a directly identifiable ferrite AL meter, this was reported to the editors of Elektor, who immediately wrote an article about it.
The low measuring frequency of such an RCL meter - 1 kHz, 10 kHz and sometimes for low AL also 100 kHz - is ideal for measuring in the "straight" initial part of the ui characteristic.
It is absolutely WRONG to measure ferrite cores with an HF oscillator or on a dipper, as others did!!!
In this Dutch article you can read the Eureka moment of PE1ABR in Elektor for more background information about a direct indicating AL meter. PDF also available in the international Elektor versions!!   UK version,   French,  and in German.
