    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. 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 ...

  4. 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.

  5. Inrush current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

    For example, wall switches intended to control incandescent lamps will have a "T" rating, indicating that they can safely control circuits with the large inrush currents of incandescent lamps. The inrush may be as much as 14 times the steady-state current and may persist for a few milliseconds for smaller lamps up to several seconds for lamps ...

  6. Impedance matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_matching

    For example, in order to match an inductive load into a real impedance, a capacitor needs to be used. If the load impedance becomes capacitive, the matching element must be replaced by an inductor. In many cases, there is a need to use the same circuit to match a broad range of load impedance and thus simplify the circuit design.

  7. 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.

  8. 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 ...

  9. 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 ...
