In PI Transformer Designer what is “Margin on Left” and “Margin on right”?
PI Transformer Designer provides more flexibility in specifying the margin on which side of the bobbin (left and right side for horizontal bobbin and top and bottom side for vertical bobbin). This is particularly useful in specifying non-symmetrical margins. The margin on left and margin on right should add up to two times the margin specified in PI Expert and PI Xls, which assume symmetrical margins. Thus is margin M is specified as 3 mm in PI Expert then the total margin (margin on left plus margin on right) should equal to 6 mm. The distribution of margin can be in any proportion so long as the total margin equals 6 mm.
