Inductance Conversion

Inductance conversion refers to the process of converting inductance values between different units of measurement. The standard unit of inductance is the Henry (H) in the International System of Units (SI). However, in practical applications, inductance values are often expressed in smaller units such as millihenry (mH), microhenry (μH), or nanohenry (nH) for convenience.

Inductance definition

Inductance is a property of the closed loop, that is, when the current passing through the closed loop changes, an electromotive force will appear to resist the change of the current. It is short for the phenomenon of 'electromagnetic induction'.


Inductance formula


ε is electromotive force, L is inductance, i is current, and t is time.

 

Inductance units and conversions

Using the International System of Units, the unit of inductance is Henry, labeled H. Commonly used units are millihen (mH), microhen (μH), Nahen (nH), and the conversion relationship between them is as follows:

IH=1000mH=1000,000μH=1000,000,000nH=1000,000,000,000pH

Application of inductance

Power inductor: mainly used for voltage conversion, commonly used DCDC circuit to use power inductor.

Decoupling inductance: mainly used to filter out the noise on the power line or signal line.

High-frequency inductors: mainly used in RF circuits to achieve bias, matching, filtering and other circuits.

How do you measure inductance of a cable?
Disconnect the cable from any circuits or devices to ensure an accurate measurement. Connect one end of the cable to the inductance meter's test leads. Connect the other end of the cable to the inductance meter's test leads. Set the inductance meter to the appropriate range for measuring inductance. Initiate the measurement on the inductance meter to determine the inductance value of the cable. Record the measured inductance value.
What is inductance equal to?
Inductance (L) is equal to the ratio of the magnetic flux (Φ) generated by a current flowing through a conductor to the current (I) itself. Mathematically, inductance is defined as: L = Φ / I In simpler terms, inductance represents the ability of an electrical component, such as an inductor, to store energy in the form of a magnetic field when an electric current passes through it. It is measured in units of henries (H) and plays a crucial role in electrical circuits by influencing the behavior of current flow and energy storage within the circuit components.
