Inductive Current Myths - Short #158
In this short podcast in our electrical myths series, Bryan talks about some inductive current myths.
There is a common myth surrounding voltage drop in inductive loads. When you decrease the voltage in a circuit with a resistive load, you'll see a relatively proportional drop in resistance (ohms) and current in accordance with Ohm's law. So, we'll see a decrease in current, but we have to keep in mind that load temperatures also affect the resistance (and the current, by extension).
Some people will claim that reducing the voltage in an inductive load (like a motor or compressor) will…
