  3. Load bank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_bank

    An inductive load consists of an iron-core reactive element which, when used in conjunction with a resistive load bank, creates a lagging power factor load. Typically, the inductive load will be rated at a numeric value 75% that of the corresponding resistive load such that when applied together a resultant 0.8 power factor load is provided.

  4. Inrush current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

    To avoid magnetic inrush, only for transformers with an air gap in the core, the inductive load needs to be synchronously connected near a supply voltage peak, in contrast with the zero-voltage switching, which is desirable to minimize sharp-edged current transients with resistive loads such as high-power heaters.

  5. Flyback diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyback_diode

    Diagram of a simple circuit with an inductance L and a flyback diode D.The resistor R represents the resistance of the inductor's windings. A flyback diode is any diode connected across an inductor used to eliminate flyback, which is the sudden voltage spike seen across an inductive load when its supply current is suddenly reduced or interrupted.

  6. Induction loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_loop

    An induction or inductive loop is an electromagnetic communication or detection system which uses a moving magnet or an alternating current to induce an electric current in a nearby wire. Induction loops are used for transmission and reception of communication signals, or for detection of metal objects in metal detectors or vehicle presence ...

  7. Voltage regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_regulation

    Then the V R, full load is given by +. The effects of this modulation on voltage magnitude and phase angle is illustrated using phasor diagrams that map V R, V S, and the resistive and inductive components of V line drop. Three power factor scenarios are shown, where (a) the line serves an inductive load so the current lags receiving end ...

  8. Leading and lagging current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading_and_Lagging_Current

    Angle notation can easily describe leading and lagging current: . [1] In this equation, the value of theta is the important factor for leading and lagging current. As mentioned in the introduction above, leading or lagging current represents a time shift between the current and voltage sine curves, which is represented by the angle by which the curve is ahead or behind of where it would be ...

  9. Stub (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stub_(electronics)

    The free end of the stub is either left open-circuit, or short-circuited (as is always the case for waveguides). Neglecting transmission line losses, the input impedance of the stub is purely reactive ; either capacitive or inductive , depending on the electrical length of the stub, and on whether it is open or short circuit.
