	1. The main work in the program takes place in the Optimization group.
Automatic calculation is used when choosing a different core or when changing any initial data (outside the Optimization group) to obtain a starting point for optimizing the choke winding data.
	2. In the Optimization group, when changing values using the arrows, the start of optimization begins automatically.
But if a new value is entered manually, then optimization should be started with this button.

	The program is intended for the automated calculation of the output chokes. The program allows you to reduce time and simplify the design of the output chokes (inductors).
                The user selects the desired series of the magnetic cores (in the lower right corner) and sets the initial data for calculation.The user selects a series of the magnetic cores (in the lower right corner) and sets the initial data for calculation. The program database contains 10 series of the magnetic cores offered by the PC Mstator. The user has the opportunity to compare the project completed on each series and select the optimal series for their specific task. Sometimes it is rational to have low losses with medium permeability, sometimes low permeability and displacement margin gives a more optimal result. The calculator allows you to quickly find the optimum.
	After analyzing the source data, the program automatically selects the necessary magnetic circuit of minimum weight, starting from the minimum size to the maximum.For the selected magnetic core, the program selects the required number of wires and the number of turns in order to provide the required parameters. Thus, the program automatically optimizes the inductor at a price and to minimize losses in the winding. In some cases, if it is practically not possible to scroll through the calculated turns of a wire of a given diameter, you should reduce the window fill factor in the source data (maximum duty factor 0.4 - 0.45) and repeat the project calculation. It should be borne in mind that the program optimizes the inductor to minimize winding losses, seeks to fill completely the magnetic core window with a wire. In this case, the program selects the maximum wire diameter and increases the number of wires. In some cases, this is not rational - copper consumption and the size of the choke increase. In such cases, it is recommended to reduce the set value of the fill factor in the initial data, then the program will reduce the diameter and number of wires. Focus on the amount of overheating and losses in the winding, observing a reasonable compromise between the amount of copper and efficiency.
	The limit of the operating temperature of the choke (taking into account the specified maximum ambient temperature) is +125°C. In some cases, if such choke temperature is not desired, the user can set the desired expected choke temperature. The program will perform the calculation so as not to exceed it.	
               For critical cases, the developer has the opportunity to refine the project or optimize the choke based on other tasks. For example, he can optimize the project for a minimum of total losses (maximum efficiency). To do this, in the “optimization” group, the user can, within small limits, change one of the parameters and see the result. So, changing the number of turns in one direction or another, it is possible in some cases to reduce the total loss.
In some cases, the desired result can be achieved by changing the size of the magnetic core obtained by the program to the previous (smaller) or next (larger) one. You can change the diameter of the wire to a small extent or calculate the design for the available wire.	
               The program contains a database of insulation thickness for PET-155 wire. For other brands, there may be slight differences. Calculation of the resistance of the winding is performed for domestic wires. For imported wires (AWG), the actual values of the resistance of the winding can be significantly higher. It should be borne in mind that the program determines the required inductance of the inductor by a given minimum load current.In some cases, by slightly increasing the magnitude of this current (if narrowing the range of the output current is permissible), a smaller size of the magnetic core can be used. The actual layout of the wire in layers depends on the skill of the employee and may differ from the calculated data.
Respectively, the values of the parameters may also differ - wire length, resistance, surface area, etc.
In all cases, a practical verification of the design with measurement of the actual operating temperature and verification of the required output characteristics is necessary.

	Project refinement takes place in the "Optimization" group.
Automatic calculation is used when choosing a different core or when changing any initial data (outside the "Optimization" group) to obtain a starting point for the optimization of winding data.

	In the "Optimization" group, when changing values using the arrows, the start of optimization occurs automatically. But if the new value is entered manually, then optimization should be started with the same button.
