What kind of inductive load does a mains LED lamp present?
This follows on from another question I'd been asking. Having been 'gifted' dozens of mains LED lamps, I've been blithely assuming that they don't offer much in the way of inductive load.
But, of ...

Inductive “kick” and possible dangerous experiment
So I have this unmarked, unknown transformer (probably from a microwave oven so it is pretty beefy) and I thought that a safe way to determine the primary from the secondary windings would be to put 1 ...

Will an opening fuse cause an inductive kick, or not?
I'm looking at designing a high-current crowbar circuit. We need to blow a 1400A fuse on demand. One question that has arisen is, what about inductive kick? If you short a large capacitor through a ...

Transfer power effectively from one coil to another through air
I want to build my own wooden alarm clock.
I want the surface to be smooth without any connectors anywhere. My idea is to place one coil beneath the alarm clock, and another pickup coil inside. I ...

How to design an RC snubber for a solenoid relay driving an inductive load?
I read up that switches driving inductive loads need to be snubbed and an RC pair seems to be the best(cheapest?) option. I have a large-ish AC induction motor (for a refrigerant compressor) that is ...

Cooper Bussmann's screw-in Edison-base mini breakers aren't for inductive loads. What does “inductive” mean?
I'm thinking of buying some Edison-base screw-in miniature circuit breakers to replace some of the fuses in my house. There are some made by Connecticut Electric and some made by Cooper Bussmann.

Inductive kick-back voltage calculation
I am controlling a stepper motor (M42SP-5P) with BUZ11 MOSFETs. The winding resistances are \$22\Omega\$ and each winding is 18 mH as I measured. I am driving it with 24V, so let's say the drive ...
