Yes, but how much heat depends on the design and quality of the balun -- the number of turns, the core material -- and the operating frequency (again, the core material). The use of coax rated for hi

Carl, I can't say for sure but others have told me that cold flow was the primary reason it was used rather than Teflon. In aircraft usage, wires are bundled and lashed down so creep is a big deal if

My experience when feeding a balanced antenna with a common mode choke at the transmitter end is the following: reducing the reactive component at the balun terminals reduced heating. I am not sure w

[snip] It has been shown (by W8JI, among others) that mismatch is NOT a contributor to heating in a choke balun. Heating in a current balun is proportional to the square of the common mode current. [

Because they are badly designed, and thus don't sufficiently limit the common mode current! Do any of them specify their common mode impedance vs. frequency? Voltage baluns are TRANSFORMERS, not chok

Hello Larry: Actually, the main aerospace criteria for the wider use of Tefzel has to do with the overall weight and ampacity of the wiring system. The Tefzel dielectric permits thinner walls, with h

Hi Rich. There *may* be some cunning impedence reason but my guess is that the main driver for using Teflon insulated wire is good HV insulation coupled with low diameter. Personally, I find the str
