OK, now I am confused (a normal state of affairs around here)
If a "cracked" toroid core is useless, then how do the "split bead" clamp-on cores manage to work? Isn't the "split" equivalent to as great big lengthwise crack? I also seem to remember broken ring cores working again when glued together. After all, isn't a ferrite core itself manufactured from ferrite powder that has been "glued together" by a binding material? Yes, the particles are pressed very close to one another,but they are still individual particles, are they not? - Jim, KL7CC John Ragle wrote: > <snip> > > I agree with the contributor(s) who said that the cracked toroid is > basically junk.
