SOWTER AUDIO TRANSFORMERS
POWER SUPPLY FILTER AND PLATE CHOKES

Chokes for valve amplifier power supplies

Our chokes are wound on M6 cores with factory adjusted gap. We can make various types of choke as fillows:

  1. Capacitor input filter
  2. Choke input filter.
  3. Plate (Anode) chokes.
  4. Balanced chokes

Chokes for capacitor input filters are the most frequently used but choke input filter chokes provide somewhat better regulation of the power supply though are much larger.

To calculate the voltage and current for various power supply configurations please use the formulae on our site.

Plate chokes for use in parallel feed amplifiers are specially designed using a two chamber bobbin and additional insulation to maximize the self resonance frequency.

Bifilar wound balanced chokes and other special chokes can also be supplied.

Our filter chokes are normally supplied in an open frame (Style "O") package.  Fully shrouded (Style "S") is available for a small extra charge. Style "S" is included in the price for plate chokes.

CUSTOM DESIGNED CHOKES Popular designs are listed below but we can make custom designs at no extra charge. To order a custom design please submit your specification using the link: CUSTOM DESIGNED CHOKES. We will send you a firm quotation and a design reference so you can order from our webshop.

For tapped equalizer chokes see EQ Inductors.
