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) ...

The formula for inductive reactance is shown below where the induced voltage increases with the increase in inductance. This is because the induced voltage in a conductor is proportional to the rate ...

θ = tan⁻¹ (XL / R) Where: θ is the phase angle in degrees. XL is the inductive reactance, calculated as XL = 2πfL, where f is the frequency and L is the inductance in henries. R is the resistance of ...

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, ...

Part I treats of the calculation and application of the armature self-inductive reactance of synchronous machines. A short, reliable method is given in the form of curves, Figs. 20a, b, c, making the ...
