What´s the best way to measure the capacity of a coil?

Keruskerfuerst said:I have several inductances. I want to measure the capacity of the inductances, since they are used in a parallel/serial crossover network.
The relevant inductances are in the range of 0,5mH up to 11.50mH.
I have a RLC meter.
Do you want to measure inductance, capacitance, or some other property?Keruskerfuerst said:No. I am not looking for maximum current rating.
You can measure the capacity of an inductor using a 25000€ equipment of HP.
But I do not have such an equipment.
Well, I think the rest of us are thinking the same thing. If he had asked for capacitance, it would be clear. Capacity is an ambiguous term, and could mean several things in relation to an inductor. A clear statement from our OP would help a lot.bogdanfirst said:here is the idea:
there are no ideal components, every component has resistance, capacity and inductance.
inductors have inductance as their main property, but they have also a resistance(the resistance of the wire itself) and they also have a capacity called parasitic capacity. this is what he wants to mesure. the equivalent schematic of an inductor can be viewed as an ideal inductor in series with ca resistor and all this in paralel with a capacitor.
How about "Use the RLC meter"I have several inductances. I want to measure the capacity of the inductances, since they are used in a parallel/serial crossover network.
The relevant inductances are in the range of 0,5mH up to 11.50mH.
I have a RLC meter.
