In this article, learn about how ideal and practical inductors store energy and what applications benefit from these inductor characteristics. Also, learn about the safety hazards associated with inductors and the steps that must be implemented to work safely with inductive circuits. . Switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) convert AC and DC supplies into the required regulated DC power to efficiently power devices like personal computers. An Inductor is used in SMPS. . An inductor can be used in a buck regulatorto function as an output current ripple filter and an energy conversion element. The dual functionality of the inductor can save the cost of using separate elements. But the inductor's inductance value must be selected to perform both functions optimally.. . Some AC/DC and DC/DC applications (motors, transformers, heaters, etc.) can cause high Inrush currents to flow in an electrical system. These. . An inductor in an electrical circuit can have undesirable consequences if no safety considerations are implemented. Some common hazards.

An electric current flowing through a generates a magnetic field surrounding it. The generated by a given current depends on the geometric shape of the circuit. Their ratio defines the inductance . Thus .The inductance of a circuit depends on the geometry of the current path as well as the

Inductors are used extensively in and signal processing. Applications range from the use of large inductors in power supplies, which in conjunction with filter remove which is a multiple of the mains frequency (or the switching frequency for switched-mode power supplies) from the direct current output, to the small inductance of the or installed around a cable to prevent

Some AC/DC and DC/DC applications (motors, transformers, heaters, etc.) can cause high Inrush currents to flow in an electrical system. These currents are needed to produce charging effects and magnetic fields when these devices are initially energized. These high-value currents are a part of the system and must be tolerated for the. . Switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) convert AC and DC supplies into the required regulated DC power to efficiently power devices like personal computers. An Inductor is used in SMPS. .
