6. Key Terms & Considerations
️· OCL (Open Circuit Inductance): The inductance of the inductor when there's no DC current flowing through it.
️· Isat (Saturation Current): The DC current at which the inductor's inductance drops to 10% of its initial value.
️· Core Loss: Energy dissipated as heat within the inductor's core.
