How do you call that (winding)

How do you call the winding method where both primary and secondary windings have the same turn count and are wound at the same time with 2 parallel wires.

In French it's "two wires in hand" but I can't find that, so...

Bifilar.

Bifilar. In an RF transformer there's more going on that just transformer action -- the bifilar winding will start acting like a transmission line transformer when you get close to 1/4 wavelength on the winding, so the impedance of the transmission line starts to have an effect on the high-end bandwidth of the transformer.

If that makes a difference to your application...

It looks like a transmission line anyway--the core makes it look like that down to much lower frequencies, by attenuating the even mode.

Arghhh! I sure knew that, but it escaped me. The best being that the same word also exist in French. Shame on me.

Thanks to all.

No shame. It often takes a while to remember a low-frequency word - with me it can take several hours to a day.

"Bi-filar"??

bifilar is not winding two windings at once. It is where a single winding is split into two conductors, which are bonded only at their terminations. They can be flat wound or twisted first, and wound as one.

If you think that audio transformer definition of bifilar is the only one, you are a huge idiot.

There are several types of bifilar application, retard Williams.

No, wiki ALSO states that there are several different kinds.

You said that was NOT the definition, AlwaysWrong. In fact, it *is*.

I didn't say there weren't different *APPLICATIONS*, DimBulb. You are wrong, once again, AlwaysWrong.

No, it doesn't, AlwaysWrong.
