How can the effect of inductive load be overcome?
To prevent damage to the power supply from inductive voltage kickback, connect an anti-parallel diode (rated at greater than the supply’s output voltage and current) across the output. Connect the cathode to the positive output and the anode to return.
What is pure inductive circuit?
The circuit which contains only inductance (L) and not any other quantities like resistance and capacitance in the circuit is called a Pure inductive circuit. In this type of circuit, the current lags behind the voltage by an angle of 90 degrees.
Can an inductive load damage a DC power supply?
If you’re using a DC power supply to power DC motors, solenoids, fans, relays and other inductive loads, you need some kind of circuit protection. Without this protection, your power supply can be damaged by high voltage spikes from these devices. Figure 1 shows an inductive load connected to a DC power supply.
What happens when you turn off an inductive load?
When you turn off the power, the current quickly drops to zero and no damage is done. Inductive loads are another matter. If you’re using a DC power supply to power DC motors, solenoids, fans, relays and other inductive loads, you need some kind of circuit protection.
What should be the voltage of an inductive load?
Ensure that the chosen components are suitably rated for the inductance and energy to be dissipated. The peak reverse voltage ratings should be a minimum of two times the power supply maximum output voltage. The continuous forward current ratings should be a minimum of 1.5 times the power supply maximum output current.
What are common mistakes in point of load DC converters?
This practical presentation goes through a number of common mistakes in point-of-load DC/DC converter design and testing. With an engaging, interactive format, this session covers issues found in converter capabilities, component selection, control design, board layout and measurement techniques.
