I need this very badly for my Electronics Project, but unfortunately I still can't find it! What are the defects and testing of Inductors??? Please help! X(
TESTING INDUCTORS An inductor is a device consisting of one or more windings of wire with or without a magnetic core. Frequent causes of inductor coil failures are shorted turns, open turns, and changes in inductor value. Small power supply transformers are similar in construction to inductors and can be tested with the capacitor-inductor analyzer shown in figure 4-30. Inductors may be tested in the circuit, but the circuit impedance will have some effect on the readings. It is recommended that you remove the inductor or transformer from the circuit before you perform any tests.
