Electric Load

Electrical Loads - Any equipment which consumes electrical power is known as loads. The light, heating equipments, motors are the some of the examples for electrical loads. Loads classified depends upon the type.
1. Resistive load 2. capacitive load 3. Inductive load. Some of the examples for this type are given here. Heating equipments are mostly resistive loads. Loads which has inductive coil are called inductive loads.
Example for this type is motors. Capacitive load is the one which produces some capacitive effect when connected to the power. Three phase synchronous motor is the best example for this type. This motor mainly used to improve power factor.
Industries with huge amount of inductive loads should have capacitor bank to improve power factor. capacitors are the one which usually give leading power factor.
