    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

    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 ...

  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. 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.

  6. 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:

  7. Snubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snubber

    The snubber diode is wired in parallel with an inductive load (such as a relay coil or electric motor). The diode is installed so that it does not conduct under normal conditions. When the external driving current is interrupted, the inductor current flows instead through the diode.

  8. Inductive coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_coupling

    Low-frequency induction can be a dangerous form of inductive coupling when it happens inadvertently. For example, if a long-distance metal pipeline is installed along a right of way in parallel with a high-voltage power line, the power line can induce current on the pipe. Since the pipe is a conductor, insulated by its protective coating from ...

  9. Leakage inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leakage_inductance

    Fig. 1 L P σ and L S σ are primary and secondary leakage inductances expressed in terms of inductive coupling coefficient under open-circuited conditions. The magnetic circuit's flux that does not interlink both windings is the leakage flux corresponding to primary leakage inductance L P σ and secondary leakage inductance L S σ .
