Formulas used to calculate electrical characteristics
Connecting windings in series:
- Inductance = Inductancetable × (number of windings)2
- DCR = DCRtable × number of windings
- Isat = (Isattable × 6) ÷ number of windings connected in series
- Irms = Irmstable
Connecting windings in parallel:
- Inductance = Inductancetable
- DCR = 1 ÷ [number of windings × (1 ÷ DCRtable)]
- Isat = (Isattable × 6) ÷ number of windings connected in series
- Irms = Irmstable × number of windings

Connecting primary windings in parallel:
When primary windings (W
pri) are connected in parallel, DCR
decreases, Irms increases, and inductance and volt-time product remain the same.
Example: For HPH6-2400L, connect three primary windings in parallel:
- Inductance = Inductancetable = 194 μH
- DCR = 1 ÷ [Wpri × (1 ÷ DCRtable)] = 1 ÷ [(3 × (1 ÷ 0.030)] = 0.010 Ohms
- VT = VTtable = 131.9 V-μsec
- Irms = Irmstable × Wpri = 2.90 × 3 = 8.70 A
Connecting secondary windings in parallel:
When secondary windings (W
sec) are connected in parallel, DCR decreases and Irms increases.
Example: For HPH6-2400L, connect three secondary windings in parallel:
- DCR = 1 ÷ [Wsec × (1 ÷ DCRtable)] = 1 ÷ [(3 × (1 ÷ 0.030)] = 0.010 Ohms
- Irms = Irmstable × Wsec = 2.90 × 3 = 8.70 A
