DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

1) It is noted that as temperature increases the effective impedance of the ferrite material decreases.

(formula)

2) DC Bias and 50 or 60 Hz alternating current also results in a lower impedance of the ferrite wire. The impedance change in this case is most pronounced at frequencies where reactive components are high. This can be compensated by using a small air gap in the split cores. Another way of reducing this effect is to wind the ferrite core with 2 windings connected in series opposing each other, also know as common mode winding.
