A transformer is fundamentally a set of coils; therefore, a transformer is an inductive load. However, by "transformer load", you seem to mean "the load that is connected to a transformer". Whether that load is inductive or capacitive depends mostly on what is hooked up to the transformer.

What is meant by an inductive and capacitive loads?

A transformer would be an inductive load. The coil of a relay would be an inductive load. Inductive loads use magnetic fields, ie motors, solenoids and relays. Capacitive loads are ones that capacitance exceeds inductance. ie flash on camera.


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 lighting loads are inductive or capacitive?

example capacitive load


Would a computer be considered a capacitive load?

No because the very first component in the power supply is a transformer, which makes for it being an inductive load.


What is the difference between inductive and capacitive load switching?

Inductive load means lags behind the voltage, where as capacitive load means lead behind the voltage.


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.


Can you load a transformer by a pure capacitive load?

No

Will transformer heating be same for resistive inductive and capacitive load of same VA rating?

Yes, transformer losses will be the same for any linear load with the same VA. However, if the load is nonlinear, such as a rectifier, the load waveform will be distorted and the losses will be higher than with an undistorted sinusoidal load current of the same VA

How do you differentiate inductive loadcapacitive load resistive load which basics?

For an inductive load, the current lags the voltage by 90 degs. Hence the power factor for an inductive load is 0. For a capacitive load, the current leads the voltage by 90 degs. Hence the power factor for a capacitive load is 0. For a resistive load, the current and the voltage are in phase. Hence the power factor for a resistive load is 1.


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.
