Yes. Each conductor carries one phase. Depending upon how you measure what's going on, I think it may indicate only 1/2 the total.
For example, try measuring the voltage with respect to the earth. Each side will indicate 1/2 of the total voltage but, since they're opposite in sign, they add producing the total voltage. I believe current will work the same way if you can measure each side independently of the other. An interesting question. I don't believe I've really given it a lot of thought <G> Ron -----Original Message----- Ron - Don't you mean that the center conductor carries all of the RF current, and the inside of the coaxial cable shield carries an equal amount of current, but of opposite phase? - Jim, KL7CC _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
