Re: Please explain doubling

24.6.195.48

I thought that two opposite and equal voltages cancled each other out. (+2) + (-2) = 0 .As an example, the plus and minus voltage rails in an amp give you zero volts on the output.

Were would you place your test equipment probes on a common-mode choke to measure this doubled voltage? I know you cannot measure line voltage as most chokes core material will not support 60cy transformer action from the one winding into the other.

Is not the canceling out effect of a C-M choke the real reason it is used in the first place. It looks like almost no inductance to diff. signals (low Z) and its rated value of inductance to C-M signals (high z).
