1 nductive Reactance Exercise 1: nductive Reactance EERCSE OBJECTE When you have completed this exercise, you will be able to determine inductive reactance ( L ) by using calculated and measured values. You will verify your results with an oscilloscope. DSCUSSON An inductor passes ac current even though it presents opposition in the form of an impedance. The L ). nductive reactance is calculated with the following equation, where L is the reactance measured in ohms, f is frequency in hertz, and L is inductance in henries (H). The 2 constant, approximately equal to 6.28, indicates that this equation applies to sine waves only. L 2 fl As shown in the equation above, L depends on the inductance and on the frequency of the applied signal. f inductance is increased, increases; if inductance is decreased, L L decreases. Also, if frequency is increased, L increases; if frequency is decreased, L decreases. L is independent of the amplitude of the applied signal. ncreasing or decreasing the amplitude has no effect on inductive reactance. f L1 is decreased from 1 mh to 0.5 mh, inductive reactance a. increases. b. decreases. c. remains the same. When a sine wave of 10 khz is applied to an inductor of 2 mh, inductive reactance is: L 2 fl 6.28 x 10 khz x 2 mh FACET by Lab-olt

R2 ma pk-pk (Recall alue 5) Measure the voltage drop across ( ) with the oscilloscope. pk-pk (Recall alue 6) Your measured values of ( pk-pk [Step 10, Recall alue 6]) and ( ma pk-pk [Step 9, Recall alue 5]) are used to determine the inductive reactance of (0.825 mh). pk pk(step 10, Recall alue 6) ma (Step 9, Recall alue 5) / 1000 pk pk * (Recall alue 7) * Certain calculated answers based on measured Recall alues are not included in the nstructor Guide. The instructor may use Recall alue nominal answers from the nstructor Guide to determine if the calculated answer by the student is within the nominal value range. 84 FACET by Lab-olt

6 nductive Reactance Compare your values of inductive reactance with equal to 4.7 mh ( [Step 6, Recall alue 3]) and mh (value of calculated above [Step 11, Recall alue 7]). Does decreasing inductance increase or decrease inductive reactance? a. increase b. decrease value of inductive reactance ( ). You will then compare your new value of inductive reactance with the reactance value before the frequency was reduced. Decrease the frequency of the generator to 20 khz. Readjust GEN for 10 pk-pk, if necessary. Remeasure the circuit current () and voltage drop across ( ). Calculate at 20 khz. (Recall alue 8) Compare your values of inductive reactance at 60 khz ( [Step 6, Recall alue 3]) and at 20 khz ( [Step 13, Recall alue 8]).
