Inductors in Series Calculator

Your details

Total inductance mode sums all inductors. Missing inductor mode finds the one unknown inductor needed to reach a target total.
Inductance of the first inductor in the series chain.
Inductance of the second inductor in the series chain.
Inductance of a third inductor (leave at 0 to omit).
Inductance of a fourth inductor (leave at 0 to omit).
Inductance of a fifth inductor (leave at 0 to omit).
Inductance of a sixth inductor (leave at 0 to omit).
Inductance of a seventh inductor (leave at 0 to omit).
Inductance of an eighth inductor (leave at 0 to omit).

Total equivalent inductance: 32.00 mH

  • Your 2 series inductors combine to 32.00 mH. In a series circuit the total inductance is always greater than any single inductor.
  • At the frequency you entered, the inductive reactance XL = 201.1 Ohm. Higher inductance or higher frequency both increase XL, which limits AC current.
  • Series inductors behave in the opposite way to series capacitors: adding more inductors in series increases the total, just like adding resistors in series.

Next stepSwitch to Missing Inductor mode if you need to find out what value a single inductor must have to reach a specific total.
