    Switching of mixed resistive and inductive loads, including moderate overloads: 60947-3 AC-23: Switching of motor loads or other highly inductive loads: 60947-3 AC-31A AC-31B ³) Non-inductive or weakly inductive loads 60947-6-1 AC-33A AC33B³) Motor loads or mixed loads including motors, resistors and up to 30% incandescent lamp load 60947-6-1 ...

  3. Load bank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_bank

    An inductive load includes inductive (lagging power factor) loads. 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 ...

  4. Snubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snubber

    This sort of snubber is commonly used with inductive loads such as electric motors. The voltage across a capacitor cannot change instantaneously, so a decreasing transient current will flow through it for a fraction of a second, allowing the voltage across the switch to increase more slowly when the switch is opened.

  5. Inrush current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

    When a transformer, electric motor, electromagnet, or other inductive load is switched off, the inductor increases the voltage across the switch or breaker and cause extended arcing. When a transformer is switched off on its primary side, inductive kick produces a voltage spike on the secondary that can damage insulation and connected loads.

  6. Voltage optimisation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_optimisation

    The main commercial benefit when installing VO units, is on inductive loads, like motors which run pumps, fans and the like. [citation needed] In the home, the potential energy saving can be up to 12% on electricity bills. A VO device will lower the voltage to the most efficient level to maximise the savings on electricity consumption, so you ...

  7. Electrical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_load

    If an electric circuit has an output port, a pair of terminals that produces an electrical signal, the circuit connected to this terminal (or its input impedance) is the load. For example, if a CD player is connected to an amplifier, the CD player is the source, and the amplifier is the load, [2] and to continue the concept, if loudspeakers are ...

  8. 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.

  9. Induction generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_generator

    As an example, consider the use of a 10 hp, 1760 r/min, 440 V, three-phase induction motor (a.k.a. induction electrical machine in an asynchronous generator regime) as asynchronous generator. The full-load current of the motor is 10 A and the full-load power factor is 0.8. Required capacitance per phase if capacitors are connected in delta:
