Loading Inductor 2.4KVAR
Product Code : SCL-EAE-11306
Quick answer: The Loading Inductor 2.4 kVAR is an inductive AC load with a rated reactive capacity of 2.4 kVAR. It makes current lag voltage, so students can load alternators, generators and transformers at lagging power factor and measure phase angle, reactive power and the extra voltage drop inductive loads cause. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for engineering colleges, polytechnics and technical institutes.

How the loading inductor is used with alternators
Unlike a resistive load, an inductor draws current that lags the voltage, and the power it handles is reactive: measured in kVAR, it flows back and forth between source and load each cycle instead of being used up. The 2.4 kVAR rating is the reactive power the inductor is designed to take at its rated conditions.
Loading an alternator with the inductor shows an important machine effect. At lagging power factor, armature reaction weakens the field, so the terminal voltage falls further as load increases than it does with a resistive load of the same current. Comparing the two curves helps explain why power systems try to keep power factor close to unity.
- Confirm that the source voltage, frequency, phase and current ratings match the loading inductor.
- Place the unit in a dry, stable, adequately ventilated area.
- With the AC source off, inspect the terminals and cables and connect the inductor through the meters.
- Run the alternator at rated speed and voltage, apply the inductive load and record terminal voltage and current.

Frequently asked questions
What does 2.4 kVAR mean on a loading inductor?
It is the rated reactive power, in kilovolt-amperes reactive, that the inductor takes at its rated voltage and frequency. It measures the energy exchanged with the magnetic field each cycle, not power converted to heat.
Why does an alternator's voltage drop more on inductive load?
At lagging power factor the armature current weakens the main field (armature reaction), so the terminal voltage falls more than it would with a resistive load of the same current.
