Hi all,
I've been messing around with winding rm8 core inductors for some eq projects. It's been a pretty simple process as far as making them goes, but I'm trying to understand proper grounding/shielding of rm core inductors and if it's necessary.
Datasheets for the epcos cores I have seem to assume that the pins on the clamps used to hold the whole assembly together (wound bobbin, rm8 core halves) are grounded.
What is the purpose of grounding these pins?
I don't know much past how to calculate # of turns and assemble them. Please, educate me about proper implementation.
Much appreciated!
Keith
