Analytical Wideband Model of a Common-Mode Choke

This paper presents an analytical model of a common-mode choke suitable for accurate calculation of the choke impedance over a wide frequency range. The model consists of lumped parameters (resistances, inductances, and capacitances) related to individual turns of the coils wound on the core. It takes into account the mutual interactions between the turns and the core with respect to their inductive and capacitive links. The variation of the core permeability and losses with frequency up to 100 MHz is also included. The open-mode impedance characteristic calculated analytically for a VAC 6123x425 single-phase common-mode choke shows very good agreement with the 3-D finite-element model and the measured characteristic from 150 kHz up to 30 MHz, thus confirming the accuracy of the model over a wide frequency range.
