Are kilowatts a measure of resistive load capacitive load inductive load or impedence load?

Watts or kilowatts are units for measuring power. Specialy by alternating electric curent Watt is only for the resistive component.
No power loss occurs in a ideal inductor or capacitor.
The curent for an given power is minimal when V an I are in fase, when fi is 0, and the powerfactor cos fi is 1.
The generator power is P (VA) = V*I
The active power is Pa (W) = V*I*cos fi
The reactive component Pr (VA) = V*I*sin fi

∙ 11y agoA watt is the SI unit for power or, in the case of a.c. circuits, of 'true power' -to distinguish it from 'reactive power' (measured in reactive volt amperes) and 'apparent power' (measured in volt amperes).
In the case of an a.c. load, it is resistance that determines the true power of a load.

What is Pure Resistive?
A purely resistive load is one in which there is no capacitive or inductive reactance. Whe driven by an AC voltage source, such a load will have no shift in phase angle between voltage and current.
What is non-inductive load?
non- inductive load is without motor and transformer loads are non-inductive load, purely resistive are capacitive loads phase angle is unity are leading PF A non-inductive load is a load whose current does not change instantaneously.
Is battery is inductive or capacitive load?
A battery is usually thought of as a source, not a load. If you are charging a battery, then it will be resistive, especially if you are attempting to charge it like you should, with a DC power supply (not AC).
What is the difference between an inductive and a capacitive load?
Resistance load it means there is passive load to impede current flow. Inductive load means there is a coil as a load while still a passive it has its own characteristics which differs from a resistive load which is linear while inductive is not linear load
Why most of the practical loads are inductive?
Most loads are actually resistive, such as an incandescent (normal) light bulb or electric heat or cooking equipment. Other loads are mostly inductive because they incorporate either transformers or motors, which are both inductive. Off hand I cannot think of a normally capacitive circuit, which would be the opposite of inductive.
How does the ac generator output is affected by the resistive inductive and capacitive load?

In a purely resistive ac circuit the current and voltage?
Voltage and current will be in phase for a purely resistive load. As a load becomes more inductive or capacitive, the phase angle between voltage and current will increase.
What is non inductive load?
non- inductive load is without motor and transformer loads are non-inductive load, purely resistive are capacitive loads phase angle is unity are leading PF A non-inductive load is a load whose current does not change instantaneously.

Why resistance is neglected for fault finding?
A fault can be resistive in nature, and the amount of resistance in the fault is unpredictable. It is unusual for a fault to be inductive or capacitive, so a typical method is to determine the impedance to the fault, and compare only the inductive part of this to the inductive part of the line impedance.
Do air conditioners use resistive load or inductive load?
resistive loadAnswerIf the current is driving a motor, then the load is resistive-inductive.
What is the difference between an inductive and a capacitive load?
Resistance load it means there is passive load to impede current flow. Inductive load means there is a coil as a load while still a passive it has its own characteristics which differs from a resistive load which is linear while inductive is not linear load
Does low load in transformer lead to low power factor?
Power factor is determined by the nature (resistive, inductive, capacitive) of a load, not whether it is a low load or a high load.
Which device uses AC current to operate?
All the devices containing mainly Resistive, Inductive and Capacitive element mainly.For ex.- Transformer, Alternator, Motor, Generator etc.
What is the Difference between resistive and capacitive load?
when a resistive load is applied there is no phase angle difference between voltage and current. when a inductive load is applied there is phase difference between voltage and current. current lags voltage by an angle of 90 degrees for pure inductive load
