Choke Inductance

[TIMBO]

Hi guys, I have several chokes and I have no idea what their Henry are OR is.

I have a Fluke 187 and I not sure if it has a inductance mode.

As far as I know from viewing the owners manual no mode for that.

gotta bust out the geek tools AND math

Thanks for the link Shooter. That is very useful information.

Low cost and very useful

Here's a video on that tester kagliostro suggested. It looks pretty cool.

+1 on kagliostro's suggestion.


I bought the 1st pictured tester from Ebay, $15.


I've plugged a lot of resistors, capacitors and BJT's into it. Works like a charm. I hadn't thought about trying chokes.
