Hi guys,
I'm a mechanical engineer, so my knowledge of electrical physics is limited.
I have a situation where I'm basically driving a relay coil with pulsed DC at a frequency of about 60 Hz. I'd like to calculate the inductive reactance. I know about X = 2*pi*f*L, but I don't think I can apply that here. Not only is my wave square, not sinusoidal, it is also DC and the current never reverses direction.
How do I calculate the inductive reactance?
