SLD / Schematic · L GAP
What it represents
A gapped-core inductor includes a documented air gap in its magnetic circuit. The drawing identifies that construction while the component data establishes inductance and operating limits.
How to read it
- A core gap marker describes the magnetic circuit, not an electrical disconnect.
- The preview is an original explanation of this function. Match the actual drawing convention to its legend and the selected equipment documentation.
Information to show or reference
- State inductance
- Reference current rating
- Identify gap/core construction
A distinction that matters
A magnetic air gap is different from an open power-circuit connection.
