Inductive Load
Product Code : SCL-PLE-11825
Quick Answer: The Inductive Load is an AC laboratory load wound with enamelled copper on a laminated silicon-steel core, used to add inductive reactance to a circuit so students can observe current lagging voltage and a lagging power factor.

Key Features
- Adds inductive reactance (XL) to an AC circuit.
- Makes the phase shift between voltage and current observable.
- Laminated silicon-steel core to keep eddy-current losses low.
- Enamelled copper winding with Class H insulation.
- Ventilated metal enclosure with protective earthing.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Core | Laminated silicon steel |
| Winding | Enamelled copper wire, Class H insulation |
| Enclosure | Ventilated metal, protective earthing |
How It Is Used
Placed in an AC circuit, the load causes the current to lag behind the applied voltage. From voltage, current and power readings students work out the reactance and power factor, and the same set-up is used when studying the performance of transformers and motors and methods of power-factor correction.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Inductive Load add to an AC circuit?
Inductive reactance. The current lags behind the voltage, so the circuit runs at a lagging power factor that can be measured and then corrected.
