    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. 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. [3]

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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 ...

  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 ...

    The Home Depot store has an estimated 276 workers, and Quiles says he got cards from a little under 40%, meaning plenty more organizing work lies ahead. (The Philadelphia Inquirer first reported ...

  9. Voltage regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_regulation

    Real transmission lines typically serve inductive loads, which are the motors that exist everywhere in modern electronics and machines. Transferring a large amount of reactive power Q to inductive loads makes the line current lag voltage, and the voltage regulation is characterized by decrease in voltage magnitude.
