@AskLorandt explains: Rated current of an inductor

Lorandt explains what the rated current of a power inductor is, and also how the rated current is measured at Würth Elektronik. In this video he solders the power inductor on a PCB and puts it in a test chamber. The temperature is finally measured with an infrared camera.
