Hi,
I need to reverse engineer a potted coil to replicate it but cannot remove the potting from the original as it would void the warranty.
The coil:
- is self supported i.e. an air core
- the dimensions of the potted unit are: 24.5 ID, 57.7 OD and 23.7 height/length
- the potting is just over the coil, so I can assume the actual coil is 2mm smaller in every direction (just a rough assumption)
- I can measure the resistance
- the inductance 40mH at 1KHz and 42mH at 10KHz
- DCR is 25.8R
- I could try to measure the magnetic field using the classic Trifield meter (but the sensor might be too far) or a TD8620 Field Meter (but not sure it is very reliable after running some other tests)
Is it possible to find out the wire diameter and number of turns, at least to some approximation?
If yes, how?
If no, what is the best way to get some approximation so I can replicate as close as possible?
Thank you
