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.

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.


What will happen when diesel genertor set run on more inductive load?

There is no problem using a generator to run more inductive load so long as the generator capacity can supply the needed power to the inductive loads. The inductive loads should not be switched on at the same time but there should be a little delay before another load is switched ON as inductive loads draw more power at start ON. The power factor of the inductive loads also affect the generator, hence for safe operation a power factor that is approaching 1 is desirable. Ogu Reginald Ekene


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


Which is better for generator testing resistive or inductive loads?

resistive loads are best for testing ..they dont introduce phase changes you may test ac devices almost the same as dc inductive loads bring in lots of other factors that give confusing results


What is the phase angle difference between inductive load and resistive load?

The phase angle is defined as the angle by which the load current leads or lags the supply voltage.For a purely-resistive load, the phase angle is zero, because the load current is in phase with the supply voltage.For a purely-inductive load, the phase angle is 90 degrees lagging.But few loads are either purely-resistive or purely-inductive; typically, most loads are resistive-inductive. This means that, typically, the phase angle lies somewhere between zero and 90 degrees.

What are the differences between capacitive and inductive loads and how do they affect the performance of electrical systems?

Capacitive loads store and release electrical energy, while inductive loads resist changes in current flow. Capacitive loads can lead to power factor issues and voltage fluctuations, while inductive loads can cause voltage drops and power losses. Balancing these loads is important for efficient electrical system performance.

Fan is inductive load or resistive load?

A fan is typically considered an inductive load due to the presence of the motor within it. Inductive loads, such as motors, create magnetic fields when current flows through them, which can cause a phase shift between voltage and current. This phase shift results in a lagging power factor, which is a characteristic of inductive loads. Resistive loads, on the other hand, have a power factor of 1 and do not cause phase shifts.

What types of loads have a leading power factor?

Capacitive loads have a leading power factor. Current leads voltage when there is capacitive reactance. (The opposite is inductive, which is lagging.)


What are common causes of transient voltage?

Sudden starting of large inductive loads..


Ac inductive loads are rated in?

They are usually rated by their power factor. With 100 volts at 1 amp the load uses 100 watts maximum, in general it would be 100 watts times the power-factor.For example a small induction motor might have a PF of 0.7.AnswerIn practise, there are very few purely-inductive loads. Most are resistive-inductive, and rated according to their apparent power expressed in volt amperes. A purely-inductive load would be rated according to its reactive power, expressed in reactive volt amperes. No load is ever 'rated' according to its power factor.


Why we are using inductive loads for calibration?

You need to specify the kind of calibration you are asking, to get the right answer


What are inductive load?

Any devices that have coils of wire in there manufacture can be classed as inductive loads. e.g. motors, solenoids and contactor coils are a few. Example of resistive loads can be baseboard heaters, filament light bulbs, toasters and stove top elements.
