Subject: [TSSP] Loss due to ultrasonic mechanical vibration of secondary?
Hi All, Fishing around for additional loss mechanisms for a secondary coil, has anyone ever looked into the possibility that mechanical vibration of the winding at the RF frequency could be responsible for some part of the overall dissipation? Perhaps a winding which is less than perfectly rigid might cause minute inelastic deformations of the winding/former, especially in something like sonotube which presumably damps sound vibrations rather well. Just something to ponder. Cheers, -- Paul Nicholson, Manchester, UK. --
