Inductor Series/Parallel Combiner mechanism

Model scope

The stated series and parallel formulas are standard for ideal uncoupled inductors. The honest label correctly identifies the no-mutual-coupling assumption. Verdict is NEEDS_REVIEW because input units and mixed-unit behavior are unspecified, and valid-input constraints are not documented.

No additional formula finding is recorded.

Units and conventions

• All inductance values must use a common unit before applying either formula; the specification does not define an input-unit convention or mixed-unit handling.
• The formulas assume ideal, uncoupled inductors with linear, frequency-independent inductance values.
• For parallel combinations, each inductance must be nonzero; practical inductors also require compatible connection polarity and negligible parasitic effects.

Failure boundary

BREAK_CLAIMED · SELF_FLAGGED

A parallel input containing a zero-valued inductor causes division by zero and must be rejected. Additionally, the input specification does not define a unit convention, so bare values can produce results differing by a factor of 1000 between mH and H.
