Parasitic capacitance of inductor

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi!

How can one calculate parasitic capacitance of inductor? Is it possible in 2d axisymmetric case? I can't find any situable example.

P.S. I use AC/DC Module to model inductor.

Thank you!

Hi

its not obvious to know what you call the parasitic capacitance, as even the cabling come with extra C values to any model.

But in ACDC ES you can get the lumped capacitance of a complex model, and you can compare that to the results from a simple geometrical results, based on electrode shape and distance + dielectric constant,. but the latter you must calculate by hand

simply plot a frequency/Impedance graph, and curve-fitting some capacitance and use 1/2piefc.

Dear Vladimir,

Did you find an answer to your question? Do you have any working example?

Thank you in advance,
Dima.
