[Boatanchors] Measuring Swinging Choke values

[Mark K3MSB]

I’m using a 6 H smoothing choke as my reference.   When I use a 12 H
smoothing choke for the “test choke”,  the IT-28 gives me a pretty accurate
reading.



One swinging choke I have is a Collins Swinging Filter Reactor,  12H to 4H @
0.3A

 The measured DC resistance is 65 ohms.



With the IT-28 set to a low bridge voltage (3V),  the current through the
choke will be about 46 mA;   I would expect the inductance to be near 12H
for that current.
