:A standard light dimmer is not suitable for a fan-the solid state electronics are designed for a constant resistive load, and an electric motor can cause all sorts of issues.
32.
Any load mismatch behind the filter can only act on the first harmonic current waveform, clearly only a purely resistive load makes sense, then the lower the resistance, the higher the current.
33.
Typically, the inductive load will be rated at a numeric value 75 % that of the corresponding resistive load such that when applied together a resultant 0.8 power factor load is provided.
34.
:: : : : Power = Current times voltage = Current squared times resistance = Voltage squared divided by resistance assuming direct current or alternating current with unity power factor ( resistive load ).
35.
As Edison noted, lowering the voltage reduces the amount of electricity delivered to resistive loads; lowering the frequency similarly reduces the amount delivered to inductive loads, i . e . electric motors.
36.
By charging the transmission line and then discharging it into a resistive load, a rectangular pulse equal in length to twice the electrical length of the line can be obtained, although with half the voltage.
37.
Functionally, electrons flow from the space plasma into the conductive tether, are passed through a resistive load in a control unit and are emitted into the space plasma by an electron emitter as free electrons.
38.
The resistive load for HOMs can be implemented by having loop antennas located at apertures on the side of the beampipe, with coaxial lines routing the RF to outside of the cryostat to standard RF loads.
39.
The phenomenon can be avoided by connecting a minimal resistive load on the transformer secondaries or by interrupting the applied voltage by a 3-phase interrupting device such as a ganged ( 3 pole ) circuit breaker.
40.
A reduction in voltage does not affect the energy used by the domestic appliances which use resistive loads except in devices such as kettles and toasters which will take longer to do their job due to atmospheric losses.
