Mean Length Turn

Mean Length Turn, sometimes Mean Length per Turn is the mean length of winding turn in a coil. Usually an acronym MLT is used. The dimensions of a coil former or bobbin define the MLT of a full wound coil.[1] In some cases the coil is not made of a single wire with multiple turns, and a coil former is not always necessary, but may be constructed in a stack of printed circuit layers.[2] The MLT is an important measure in the design of inductors, transformers and other wound electromagnetic components.
