Re: Ratings on Ls, voltages

It's not the DC voltage to ground that concerns me, it's the AC voltage *across* and SC currents through the choke. That's what might lead to saturation of the core.

I did a bit of reverse engineering on the Triad unit (not too hard given the dimensions of the core, the inductance and the DCR) and it seems that you might be OK in your application. I wouldn't try to push the DC current up to 600mA though. Keeping the DC current down leaves more headroom for the extra AC flux that the core is subject to in this application.
