34 Pa. Code § 39.216. Precautions to avoid excessive inductance and eddy currents.

§ 39.216. Precautions to avoid excessive inductance and eddy currents.

 Supply conductors of alternating-current or direct-current circuits should not be run in separate iron conduits or on opposite sides of I beams or other iron structures or be otherwise run so as to increase abnormally the self-inductance of the circuit. Such construction, by introducing large self inductance in direct-current circuits, causes fuses to blow explosively; in alternating-current circuits it causes heating due to eddy currents in the metal.
