In Reply to: The neglected factor: self-capacitance of coils ? posted by cheap-Jack on December 5, 2006 at 13:20:55:
It just occurred to me that I should have pointed something out from the start. The term self-capacitance does not refer to something special or unique. Self-capacitance refers to any capacitances completely within a device and excludes capacitances with the outside world. As I understand the term, the author's definition - or c-J's transcription - is incorrect about capacitance to ground being a self-capacitance.All of the capacitances that I have mentioned concerning wirewound resistors - and by extension CM chokes - are self-capacitances. (The one exception is question (2) of the quiz.) Self-capacitance has not been neglected.
