Parallel Inductor Calculator

How Parallel Inductor works

The calculation uses Leq = L1L2 ÷ (L1 + L2). Parallel Inductor uses Inductor L1, Inductor L2 to report Equivalent inductance. Continue to Transistor Base Resistor Calculator for base resistor.

With the loaded values, equivalent inductance evaluates to 6.88 mH. Change only the quantity being investigated.

Inputs for Parallel Inductor

Inductor L1 and Inductor L2 belong to Parallel Inductor. Keep source units with inductor l1.

The preset case is instructional rather than prescriptive. Enter the applicable electrical data. Compare this result with MOSFET Conduction Loss Calculator when conduction loss is also needed.

Inductor L1

Example entry: 10 mH.

Inductor L2

Example entry: 22 mH.

Reading the Parallel Inductor result

This output represents Parallel Inductor.

Finish the selection with standard sizes, operating limits, and transient review. Use RC Snubber Calculator.

Measurement and units

Use component tolerances, voltage ratings, current limits, frequency behavior, and thermal data from the selected parts. Check prefixes on inductor l1. For equivalent inductance, use Series Inductor Calculator.

Keep the same electrical reference points across saved cases.

Limits of this calculation

This assumes uncoupled ideal inductors.

A complete system can contain effects that this equation does not represent. Unentered effects remain outside Parallel Inductor.
