No load is the least destructive load to a switch.


Fax machine that operates on 120V and it say max wattage is 170W Can you connect two machines in series or one bulb of 170W in series with this machine to 220V outlet?

Connecting a machine in series with a bulb to try to use it on a higher voltage is inadvisable. The machine will have, at least in part, an inductive load, which will not equate to the purely resistive load of a bulb.

When using a resistive load bank to test a generator do you load it to the kW or the kVA?

When using a resistive load bank to test a generator, it does not matter if you load the generator to its kW or kVA rating, because those two numbers are the same when considering a resistive load. Power factor, which is the difference between true and apparent power, only comes into play when there is a reactive (inductive or capacitative) load.


Are solenoid valves resistive loads or inductive loads?

Resistive Load An electrical load which is characteristic of not having any significant inrush current. When a resistive load is energised, the current rises instantly to it's steady-state value, without first rising to a higher value. An electrical load in which voltage and current are converted to energy in the form of heat; i.e., an electrical heater, incandescent bulb. Inductive Load An electrical load which pulls a large amount of current (an inrush current) when first energized. After a few cycles or seconds the current "settles down" to the full-load running current. The time required for the curren to "settle down" depends on the frequency or/and the inductance value of the Inductive load


How many amps will a 60 watt bulb draw from 120 volts?

Watts = Volts x Amps x Power Factor. An incandescent light bulb is a resistive load so PF = 1. ANSWER: = 1/2 Amp
