servo lead chokes, are they useful
Hi,
now a days everybody puts stuff into their plane, emcotec's powerboxes fancy switches and regulators all microp controlled... even a simple powerLED and servo lead chokes.
I myself are an electronics engineer and I can't find a reason why these chokes are for.
Which frequencies do they block? where do the "to be blocked" signels come from?
I hate flying around dead weight just to ease my mind.
If it is for glitches servo's produce, they should be located near the servo... but they are located near the receiver.
If it is for "other" glitches, one should locate them near the device that produces them, for instance an electronic ignition unit or so..
or just make a fix so no glitches are produced (metal to metal)
Most receivers have the highest sensitivity for spurious signals in the IF band (455 kHz). It's a fairly low frequency so the radiation impedance of the cricuits after the choke is quite high and reactive, the choke will have a hard time to cool it down.
So why
Input would be welcome
