saturable reactor dimmer (Q30587)

From CanonBase

A saturable reactor dimmer uses a small control current to saturate the magnetic field in a large inductor. Once saturated, the inductance of the saturable reactor drops dramatically, allowing an increased current flow through the reactor.

    context
    Een saturabele reactordimmer gebruikt een kleine stuurstroom om het magnetische veld in een grote spoel te verzadigen. Eenmaal verzadigd, daalt de inductie van de verzadigde reactor drastisch, waardoor een grotere stroom door de reactor mogelijk wordt. (Dutch)
