dude Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Does anyone know what the impedence (in Ohms) per length (in any unit) of standard 42 gauge pickup wire is? The impedence per turn around a bobbin would work, too (though it would be less accurate). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpa Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Sorry, only goes up to 40 but you might be able to extrapolate. http://amasci.com/tesla/wire1.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Sorry, only goes up to 40 but you might be able to extrapolate. http://amasci.com/tesla/wire1.txt At the very bottom it gives the DC Ohms per thousand feet. Just divide the number by 1000. Comes out to about 1.66 ohms/foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_the_damned Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) Does anyone know what the impedence (in Ohms) per length (in any unit) of standard 42 gauge pickup wire is? The impedence per turn around a bobbin would work, too (though it would be less accurate). Impedence per turn on the bobbin would be complicated to work out as its both the DC resistance (as already stated) plus the AC impedence due to being a coil of wire with a back EMF(complete pain in the ass to work out). I'd just go with the DC resistance as that's what most pickups are made to anyway Edited May 21, 2007 by Robert_the_damned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Sorry, only goes up to 40 but you might be able to extrapolate. http://amasci.com/tesla/wire1.txt Sorry, I should have specified. I meant 42 AWG. Doesn't matter, though. That link helps a lot. Thanks (this'll make planning for windings SO much easier). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
