6 FAQs about [Inductive energy storage]

Why should you use an inductor for energy storage?

Because the current flowing through the inductor cannot change instantaneously, using an inductor for energy storage provides a steady output current from the power supply. In addition, the inductor acts as a current-ripple filter. Let’s consider a quick example of how an inductor stores energy in an SMPS.

How does an inductor store energy?

Inductors Store Energy The magnetic field that surrounds an inductor stores energy as current flows through the field. If we slowly decrease the amount of current, the magnetic field begins to collapse and releases the energy and the inductor becomes a current source.

What is the rate of energy storage in a Magnetic Inductor?

Thus, the power delivered to the inductor p = v *i is also zero, which means that the rate of energy storage is zero as well. Therefore, the energy is only stored inside the inductor before its current reaches its maximum steady-state value, Im. After the current becomes constant, the energy within the magnetic becomes constant as well.

What are some common hazards related to the energy stored in inductors?

Some common hazards related to the energy stored in inductors are as follows: When an inductive circuit is completed, the inductor begins storing energy in its magnetic fields. When the same circuit is broken, the energy in the magnetic field is quickly reconverted into electrical energy.

How does an inductor store energy in an SMPS?

Let’s consider a quick example of how an inductor stores energy in an SMPS. Closing the switch for a switched mode power supply increases the current flowing to the load and allows energy to store in the inductor. Opening the switch disconnects the output of the supply from the input.

What happens when an inductive circuit is completed?

When an inductive circuit is completed, the inductor begins storing energy in its magnetic fields. When the same circuit is broken, the energy in the magnetic field is quickly reconverted into electrical energy. This electrical energy appears as a high voltage around the circuit breakpoint, causing shock and arcs.
