McKinney, TX – May 6, 2023 – ABR Electric, a trusted provider of professional electrical services in Collin County, Texas, recently shared an insightful video on reducing inductance in wire leads. The video, which has garnered 4,653 views, demonstrates how a simple technique—twisting wire leads—can significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of electrical systems.
The Science Behind Twisting Wires
Inductance in wire leads can negatively impact electrical circuits, especially in longer cable runs. When current flows through a wire, it creates magnetic fields that increase inductance. This can lead to inefficiencies and potential issues in electrical systems.
The Solution: By twisting the wire leads, the magnetic fields created by the current flow cancel each other out, effectively reducing inductance. This technique ensures smoother current flow and enhances the performance of electrical systems.
Why This Matters for Your Home or Business
Reducing inductance is particularly important for:
- Surge Protection Systems: Longer wire leads can increase the Voltage Protection Rating (VPR), reducing the effectiveness of surge protectors like the Siemens FS140.
- Efficient Power Distribution: Twisting wires minimizes energy loss and improves the reliability of electrical circuits.
- Longer Cable Runs: For homes or businesses with extensive electrical systems, reducing inductance ensures consistent performance.

- Broken or missing ground rods.
- Disconnected water heater bonding clamps.
- Improper neutral-to-ground bonding.
