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 will most likely cause arcing at a switch contact?
inductive loads, like motors
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 are common causes of transient voltage?
Sudden starting of large inductive loads..
What are the Practical Applications of Inductive Reactance?
Radio, t.v., cellphones etc.
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.
How can you find watts from kva?
a VA is basically equivalent to a watt for most purposes so a KVA being 1000 VA, a KVA is basically 1000 W.However, 1 KVA = 1KW only holds true for resistive loads. If an AC power supply is running a motor or other very inductive load, KVA can be significantly higher than the power being used by the motor.The theory and mathematics of inductive loads are too complex to describe here but knowledge of inductive loads on AC supplies is one of the fundamentals of electrical engineering
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.)
