Choke (electronics)
OverviewTypes and constructionSee alsoFurther readingExternal links
In electronics, a choke is an inductor used to block higher-frequency alternating currents (AC) while passing direct current (DC) and lower-frequency ACs in a circuit. A choke usually consists of a coil of insulated wire often wound on a magnetic core, although some consist of a doughnut-shaped ferrite bead strung on a wire. The choke''s impedance increases with frequency. Its low electrical resistance

In electronics, a choke is an inductor used to block higher-frequency alternating currents (AC) while passing direct current (DC) and lower-frequency ACs in a circuit. A choke usually …
How much (capacitance) is too much?
I would use an oil filled 4uf then the choke, the output capacitor is often "voiced" to improve the low end sound. When the reactance of the choke (= 2 x Pi x F x L) is equal to …
Choke versus cement resistor: Why use one over the other?
The inductance of the choke coupled with the capacitance of the filter capacitors determine the bass response of the amplifier. A larger inductance value choke will have a …
Chokes Explained
The capacitor input filter doesn''t necessarily have to have a choke, but it may have one for additional filtering. The choke input supply by definition must have a choke. Capacitor input …
How does it Work? Common Mode Chokes
the common mode signal that enters or leaves a PCB. X and Y capacitors are commonly used to shunt the common mode noise away from the circuits of interest, while a common mode choke …
Help me understand chokes and how they''re used in power supplies
A higher henry choke, say 4 vs 10, but both the same physical size, then the 10 will generally have a higher DCR and cause a lower b+ overall. SO putting in a higher …
To choke or not to choke
The capacitor input supply will have a filter capacitor immediately following the rectifier. The choke input supply will have a choke immediately following the rectifier. The main …
How does a run capacitor value affect the motor?
Re: How does a run capacitor value effect the motor? Run capacitor UF value is more critical than the value of a starting capacitor, because for one thing the cap is being …
Choke or Capacitor Input?
The capacitor-input system gives bad regulation and requires higher rated transformer, rectifier and smoothing capacitors than choke-input. In low-power apparatus, especially for more or …
What is Choke Filter?
Definition: Choke filter consists of an inductor connected in series with rectifier output circuit and a capacitor connected in parallel with the load resistor. It is also called L-section filter because …
Capacitance in Choke Input PS?
PSUD2 is a good way to see the effects of first capacitor in choke input supply, including oscillation in choke-capacitor resonant tank. At some capacitance value, the …
Choke input experiments
The sag in B+ is I think predominantly the effective R of the power transformer and choke, and the increasing power supply feed current - ie. the B+ filter capacitor doesn''t …
Design Considerations for a Tube Power Supply, using a Choke.
Heavy AC currents, flowing through too large capacitors will create all kind of hard to understand hum effects. That is because capacitor ripple will find their way to ground …
Tube amp power supply choke | Audiokarma Home Audio …
The 300B requires about 100Vrms more plate voltage than the 2A3, so for the 300B I add a capacitor before the choke, converting the choke input supply to a standard pi …
Choke input vs. Capacitor input filter
A choke-input filter is fundamentally different than a capacitor-input filter with a choke after it, and doubly so if the majority of the current comes out of the first filter cap and …
Choke versus cement resistor: Why use one over the other?
The resistance measures in the 250 ohm range and inductance between 10 – 20 Henries. The inductance of the choke coupled with the capacitance of the filter capacitors …
How do you reduce voltage ripple?
Because it has external inductors and common mode choke, the layout space is larger than capacitor, but the effect is better. Therefore, many low ripple applications are used …
Some considerations when using power supply chokes.
Even at fully excessive capacitor values, it doesn''t seem to cure, which already points into another reason, as just the capacitors being not big enough. Why you should not use a CLC filter for a …
Some considerations when using power supply chokes.
Even at fully excessive capacitor values, it doesn''t seem to cure, which already points into another reason, as just the capacitors being not big enough. Why you should not use a CLC filter for a low voltage power supply, inside a tube …
How does the choke coil help in the working of tube light?
The power factor of a good choke coil is Nearly zero. What is the role of choke and capacitor in tube light circuit? This capacitor reduces sparking and improves life of starter. …
Chokes Explained
The advantage of the capacitor input filter is higher output voltage, but it has poorer voltage regulation than the choke input filter. The output voltage approaches sqrt(2)*Vrms of the AC …
How does a run capacitor value affect the motor?

What exactly happens to the signals hitting a common mode choke?
The choke increases the impedance of the noise source, which allows the caps to have a better filtering effect. The way the wires are wound can have various effects. For …
