RE: update 3

The formula for critical inductance is,

inductance = ((voltage/current) + dcr of choke) / 1000

Most books (including the one linked by elblanco) state that one should use 2 times the calculated critical inductance.

"..when I get the other channel set up is it correct to assume the critical inductance becomes 7.5 Hy?"

No, if you draw twice the current at the same voltage then critical inductance will be one half the value originally calculated but you have to figure in the DCR of the choke so it won't be exactly one half.



The math at 130ma. current draw
475/.13=3655+100 (drc of choke just a guess)=3755/1000=3.755Hy So twice that would be 7.51Hy

The math at 260ma. current draw
475/.26=1827+100=1927/1000=1.927Hy So twice that would be 3.845Hy
