347:(see Figure 8) But, the leakage resistance is in megaohms and the ohmic resistance is in milliohms. I am starting to see where the differences over ESR are coming from. When a circuit designer (at least the ones I know) discusses ESR (in a capacitor or inductor), he/she almost exclusively refers to the metallic ohmic resistances, which are small resistances (typ. below 1 Ω). ESR is properly the real component of Z=R+jX of whatever device is being analyzed, and that can be a whole bunch of R L and C's. The distinction between the two uses of ESR probably lies in the application how the cap and coil are used. The metallic resistance are significant in some applications. F'rinstance, the metallic resistance of a coil is important to power supply design, the metallic resistance of a tantalum capacitor is important in certain amplifier designs, because it is actually used as a resistor in the frequency compensation to create a zero. And at the frequencies of these applications, this metallic resistance is the only significant component of ESR. Once the circuit reaches frequencies where the other resistances significantly affect Z, the metallic resistance has insignificant effect on the ESR. It is a rare circuit where all resistive components of ESR are important, so the unimportant elements are very often neglected in the discussion of ESR in a circuit.

something in the way of background knowledge that I can help with here. Q factor pertains to resonant circuits. As it happens, in the average resonant circuit, the Q of the capacitor will be many times higher than the Q of the inductor. The inductor Q therefore is the determining factor in the design. Both L and C have
Qfactors as well as ESRs, Q and R being inversely related at a fixed F. In non-resonant pulse circuits there is no F to use in a calculation, so there is no Q either. In pulse circuits such as power supplies the ESR matters both in C and L. Core losses in the L increase the ESR at high frequencies. The key term here is LOSS, alternating current goes through, gets turned into heat by the losses, kind of equivalent to a resistance!
731:
not necessarily a series resistance either. "Q" factor is also a function of frequency. Inductors have DC resistance spec'ed because when they saturate, they turn into resistors, or worse fuses, and also to power rate them. DCR is an important spec for SMPS because significant current is in the inductor, Q factor isn't. This DCR value is the value of the ESR element when shown in circuit diagrams. I think this naming convention is historical. Calling it DCR must be intuitive because it's measured with an ohmmeter. Have I beaten this dead horse enough?

851:"You can see that the energy required to 'pump up' the core by moving from P1 to P2 is more than that which it returns when going from P2 to P3. This is evocatively termed inelastic behavior. You could look at this another way by thinking about the 'back emf' which opposed the initial increase in coil current. The emf generated is always proportional to the change in flux; but the flux changes less on the 'way down' than it does going up."

actual inductor, effectively setting a minimum current needed between switching cycles in order to get real work done by the coil. Similarly a magnetizing inductance needs to be satisfied before magnetic flux can become usefully stored in the core, effectively demanding current each cycle. This current per cycle and the voltage across the inductor amounts to power used by the magnetizing inductance.

occur in a reactance. At the same time you will be telling me whether my edits are nonsense as suggested. Light-current will of course feign incomprehension, apparently to string us along as entertainment. I am sure you have better things to do, but there can be nothing less worthwhile than keeping up this conversation indefinitely. I think that after this we will both be more cautious.

losses in series with an ideal inductor? Both coils and capacitors have ESR and Q ratings, the two are inseperable. A drawing could be added to expand this, but it is futile since there is also a merge tag. If you are intent on merging it there is no point in making it too big to fit back into the capacitor article. How about picking one of these incompatable tags and removing the other?
867:
So eddy current is a function of frequency as well, so I don't think it is going to be represented as a resistive element. However if the circuit is linearized around an operating point and the frequency of operation is fixed, then the eddy current could be represented as a resistive element. I think

Snafflekid. Would you now kindly arrive at an answer to the question? Does hysteresis in inductor cores represent a loss equivalent to a resistance or not? Here is an equation showing that a loss in Watts applies ( Ph = Kh×f×Bn watts m-3 ) from the reference above. A loss of power of course cannot

Does Meggar have any more details on the application of ESR to circuits in general?. I'm not familiar with this particular use of the term. Could Meggar also say how this measurement is done? As I said I think the term Q covers it for coils-- unless youre talking about dc resistance which is not the
841:
Actually power can be expended in a reactive element–when it is switching. In a cap, i=C(dv/dt). say you are switching a voltage difference across a cap repeatedly, f=1/dt, you can rewrite this, i = C*Δv*f and since the cap is seeing this voltage, Δv, across it, P = Δv*i = C*Δv^2*f. (It's the main

You are correct (BTW that's what I do, switch-mode power supply ICs). Some background--"Q" of an inductor is important in resonant circuits, because the "R" that is part of the "Q" could be two or three R's, has frequency dependence and does not lend itself to the concept of lumped elements and is

Yes, the ESR is not the DC resistance. I did put up the entry about hysteresis and eddy current losses adding to the DC resistance. Do you see that small equivilent circuit in dashed lines under the quote in the above link? The one showing an equivilent resistor representing the sum of the various

I suppose that the author may have been thinking about why an isolation transformer is used - to isolate the Earth reference from the chassis so that a fault current to Earth will be very small. So, in this broad sense, you could say that the isolation transformer limits the fault current. This,

So I think why hysteresis is represented by an inductor in parallel with the ideal inductor is that it represents this opposition to the change in coil current when the coil current changes direction. Any current built up in this inductive element needs to be removed before current will enter the

It seems that ESR is used in the SMPS world to describe the non idealites of inductors. OK. In other circuits however the term Q is exclusively used. If we mention ESRs narrow applicability to electronic power supplies, I suppose I could drop my objection to its use for certain types (not all) of
434:
Interesting idea but I don't think so. Basically this hysteresis uses a bit of energy each time the direction of the current changes in the coil. Power = energy x freq. so the power demanded by this hysteresis increases with frequency of current direction change. Maybe this power could be somehow
769:
Snafflekid did not say that. Once he conciders the matter a bit he will recall that both hystereses and eddy current losses (and skin effect) all add to the DC resistance to make for higher equivalent series resistance, as you would yourself if you read the article in that link. Perhaps there is
683:
I recommend that the page be turned into a disambiguation page, because ESR refers to both capacitors and inductors. I know that inductors are not spec'ed in terms of ESR, but it is still correct to speak of the ESR in an inductor, in circuit analysis. A redirect just to

No, it isn't (as I already pointed out in the case of "more details"). Tell me what is currently here and in need of cleanup. If nothing, or nothing that cannot be easily fixed, go find the proper tag to add here and remove the cleanup tag, or I will.

All practical inductors exhibit losses due to the resistance of the wire or absorption by materials within the magnetic field surrounding it. It is possible to model these losses as a resistance, R, in series with a perfect or loss free inductance

after putting my thinking cap on I remembered that the hysteresis is represented by magnetizing inductance, which is in parallel with the coil. The magnetizing inductance requires magnetizing current. So no, hysteresis is not reflected in ESR.

I do believe that eddy current is represented by a resistive lossy element, but I don't think hysteresis is. Though I think that a discussion of either on the ESR page is not very useful. Better on transformer or inductor,

There won't be a reference for that. A standard isolating transformer will have a low ESR to keep output voltage steady with load changes. On short circuit it will burn out unless protected by a fuse.
