Hello all !!
I have started building my own inductors as per my need for DC DC Converters and i stuck with a lucid doubt. If my current through inductor is 10A and i found that a heavy 12SWG copper conductor can handle it but bulky and difficult to wound on a E42 bobbin.....So my question is can i used a 2 or 3 conductors of lower ampacity (say 4A each) in parallel .....IS it affect my inductance value as it effects as 3X number of turns ??
