Heavy inductors are preferably measured with the parallel Eq ckt this case being domination compared to the series resistance. The low values inductors are themselves represented by the series, their reactance being low. In order to obtain a more accurate result high inductances are analyzed with the lowest rate, while low inductors are analyzed in contrast with the highest.
