Inductive Reactance is defined as the opposition to current flow. It is the reaction of the inductor to the changing value of alternating current. To explain further, a back electromotive force (emf) ...

In the December 2008 issue of EC&M, we talked about calculating the inductive reactance of conductors that are in close proximity to (or touching) one another. We also noted that the inductance and, ...

Power factor correction uses parallel connected capacitors to oppose the effects of inductive elements and reduce the phase shift between the voltage and current. Power factor correction is a ...

Industrial and commercial customers constantly scrutinize their monthly electrical usage, looking for ways to save money. Installing power factor correction capacitors can reduce costly penalties ...

Fault current limiters (FCLs) serve as essential protective devices within modern power systems, mitigating the potentially damaging effects of fault currents. By dynamically increasing their ...

Few electronics design areas benefit as much from the use of inductive components as the avionics industry, yet many people feel uncomfortable using these parts, or fail to see their true value.
