Domaine(s)
  • Bobines et bobinage (Composants électrotechniques)
CONT

Pour ce qui est de la conception de la bobine secondaire, il faut avoir un noyau d’air. L’utilisation de ce noyau d’air est là pour isoler le primaire du secondaire. Il y a donc moins de chance d’avoir du claquage. Il faut donc utiliser un tuyau de PVC [polychlorure de vinyle] d’un certain diamètre et d’une certaine hauteur. [...] Le bobinage du secondaire sera fait avec un fil émaillé [...]

OBS

noyau d'air : terme uniformisé par le Comité du projet de lexiques (Nouveau-Brunswick).
