We all know that one of the inductor performance parameters we must pay attention to when selecting Radial inductor is the current. In this article, let’s discuss this simple but highly concerned problem.

Identifying the current of the radial inductor depends on the corresponding scene or situation. In fact, it is relatively simple for us to identify the current of the radial inductor from the perspective of model selection, because we can get it from the information provided by the manufacturer about the inductor catalogue.  This is for the selection of mature cases.

If it is for the selection of a new case and the radial inductor is not determined, it is really impossible to identify the current of radial inductor. Of course, we can also test the current of a certain radial inductor.

As to test current of radial inductor, many people think it is simply test the current. The purpose of testing the radial inductor current is actually to help selecting. Therefore, we usually do not only test the current, but also test it synchronously with the inductance value. Observe the change of inductance value of radial inductor through current change, so as to provide reference value for correct type selection. Now let’s briefly introduce the steps and methods of testing the radial inductance current for reference only.

Step 1: turn on the power switch of the inductance value and current test instrument;

Step 2: Clamp the two pins of the radial inductor with clamps, and get an initial inductance value data ; Load an initial current in the test instrument; When loading the initial current, the test instrument has not started to work yet.

Step 3: There will be a red start button on the current test instrument. Click the start button to start the test instrument. Here is how the inductive value of the I-type inductor changes when the initial current value is set for loading. We need record the inductance value change according to calculate whether the change rate meets the requirements of the case.

Step 4: After the test is completed, click the reset button on the current test instrument, remove the clamp off the radial inductor pin, and complete the test.

The test of the current of radial inductor is usually carried out together with the inductance value. Please pay attention here! If you want to know more about radial inductor, please leave us a message!
