There are other options. Look at the Fair Rite catalog (study it carefully --
it takes hours to
digest this stuff, and more hours to select the right parts). There are some
VERY large
clamp-ons of #31 or 78 material (don't remember which) that you could
potentially get
several turns through. Study the dimensions of the clamp-ons, the dimensions of
the wires,
order a selection of them, and give it a shot. You are looking for a ferrite
part that is as
long as possible (consistent with the available length of wire). R and X are
proportional to
length and proportional to the SQUARE of the turns. So two turns through a
shorter core is
twice as good as one pass through a longer one. AND the greater number of
turns will
move the effective range down in frequency.
