Noise Suppression by Common Mode Choke Coils

Common mode choke coils work as a simple wire against differential mode current (signal), while they work as an inductor against common mode current (noise).

Great article from Chuck Counselman, W1HIS

Example

Common-mode current isolation for coax

- for 50 Ohm RG-316 coax cable 10 turns

Insert LOSS of Common-mode current choke (CMCC)

- for 50 Ohm RG-316 coax cable 10 turns

Common-mode current isolation for controller cable

- on small core inductors

bigger pic 0,5 to 50 MHz

bigger pic 0,1 to 2,5 MHz
