Stan Zurek, Bifilar winding, Encyclopedia Magnetica, https://e-magnetica.pl/doku.php/bifilar_winding |
Bifilar winding - this name applies to two different types of windings:
- magnetically coupled (typically two isolated conductors), with the most important feature being high magnetic coupling betwen them
- non-inductive (wound with two isolated conductors, but later joined electrically at some point), with the most imporatn feature being low value of total inductance of such configuration
Bifilar windings are made by winding two wires simultaneously.1) If more wires are used, then also the following names are applied:2) 3)
- bifilar coil - 2 wires
- trifilar coil - 3 wires
- quadfilar or quadrifilar coil - 4 wires
- quintufilar coil - 5 wires, and so on.
