The challenge with and solution to peak load applications
Peak loads in systems are often caused by capacitive and inductive loads. Capacitive loads arise from the presence of large, smooth capacitors in the system, which require a larger amount of current when the power is initially turned on due to their inherent characteristics. On the other hand, inductive loads result from components with inductive parameters, utilizing electromagnetic induction. These loads cause the current to lag behind the voltage, leading to a significant current demand during startup. The waveform of such peak loads shown below is commonly observed in applications with electromechanical motors, pumps, fans, and solenoids.
